Wide photograph of a large indoor hall during an evening satsang or Maha Darshan. Hundreds of seated devotees in white and pastel clothes fill the floor, many with brass plates and small oil lamps in front of them. On a raised stage at the far end, a figure sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, framed by green and yellow floral garlands and a red backdrop with curtains. A screen hangs beside the stage. White draped ceiling fabric, ceiling fans and red and orange bunting decorate the hall.

Photograph of a devotional gathering in a hall with a draped white and maroon canopy and blue curtain backdrop. On a raised white stage, several people in white and saffron sit around a golden throne-like seat with a framed portrait. Two figures in orange/saffron robes sit near the center, flanked by others in white and yellow garments. Dozens of seated attendees in white clothing and orange fill the floor and rows of black chairs facing the stage, with a projection screen and a large lamp-lit altar area visible at the sides.

A photograph of a large hall during a seated satsang. In the foreground, a dense audience sits on red and patterned mats, many in white, red, teal and blue clothing, several with heads turned toward the stage. On the raised stage, a figure in orange clothing sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne flanked by attendants in white, with video cameras and monitors in front. Hanging colourful striped banners with orange tassels frame the stage, and white screens are mounted on either side. A camera operator stands at the left edge beside an orange-clad figure.

A wide photograph of a satsang hall with a large audience seated on the floor in front of a stage. On the raised platform, a figure in orange clothing sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with an orange cloth draped below, flanked by attendants in white. Two cameras on tripods film the stage. Colourful woven banners with orange fringes hang from the ceiling, and a blue-grey curtain and two projection screens frame the stage. Audience members wear white, red, teal and pastel clothing, and many sit cross-legged on mats. The figure on the throne is a candidate for a person based on orange robes and long dark hair with a visible red cushion, though the distance makes the appearance uncertain.

A large audience of seated devotees, mostly in white and light clothing, faces a stage in a covered tent hall. On the stage, a figure in orange robes sits on an ornate red and gold throne with a canopy, flanked by flower arrangements and small offerings. To the right, musicians in orange and white play drums and a stringed instrument on a blue-draped platform. Colourful striped and patterned hangings decorate the tent poles, and dark red and blue curtains form the backdrop.

On the stage a large ornate gold throne stands with a figure in orange robes seated on it. Around the throne, figures in white clothes stand in a line, some in orange and yellow garments. Seated devotees fill the floor in front, many with white head cloths, on orange and red mats. A man in a red-orange shawl stands at the right side of the room near a camera on a tripod.
