A dimly lit room with a red patterned rug and green curtains where a group of seated devotees sits in rows listening to a teaching. Most wear white or light clothing, while a woman in an orange top sits at left and a woman in a yellow top sits at right. In the foreground a seated person in white with a cord or mala in hand is seen from behind, and a man in white stands at the back. No clear appearance-based candidate for a person is visible; the figures present appear to be devotees and attendees.

A dimly lit indoor satsang in a plain room with pale green walls and framed pictures high on the wall. Devotees sit cross-legged on a red patterned carpet and a light green cloth. A man in a white shirt and white trousers at the centre holds a mala, and a woman in an orange sari sits to the left. Other seated participants wear white, orange and bright green, and a man in a white shirt sits behind them. A girl in the lower left and a woman in a yellow top are in the foreground. A small dark plaque is on the wall above, and the scene suggests a group meditation or chanting session.

A dimly lit photograph of a seated group meditating or chanting on a room floor covered with a patterned red and gold rug. In the foreground a woman in a lime-green salwar kameez with a dark cord necklace sits cross-legged with hands raised near her chest, and a woman in grey sits to her left. Behind them a row of devotees in white kurtas and dhotis sit on the carpet, several holding malas, with a man in an orange shirt and others in pale clothing filling the background.

Dimly lit indoor satsang room with a green curtain behind and a television on a stand at right. Several devotees sit cross-legged on a patterned floor rug, holding rudraksha malas and chanting or meditating with eyes closed.

A woman in white clothes sits front right, and another woman in a yellow top sits at far right. A man in white stands at back left. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible, so the presence of the teacher cannot be confirmed from appearance.

Indoor photograph of a group of children and young men seated on a purple carpet in a hall at Aadhi Peetha, Bengaluru, during the Little Anandas program. In the foreground several boys sit close together; one boy in a teal shirt smiles at the camera and another in a white shirt raises a hand. Behind them, adult men in white shirts and white dhotis sit cross-legged, one bearded man in white gestures with his hand. A red-and-gold patterned mat edges the left side. Lamps and dim wall lighting are visible. Some boys wear name badges. Visible people number roughly 20, so the count is 21-100 only if all are counted, but the visible count here is about 20.
