Outdoor gathering at dusk under a grey sky and dense green trees. A large seated crowd, mostly dressed in white, sits on a brick-paved ground facing a raised group near the back. Ceremonial staffs with ornamental finials and orange flags stand upright behind the seated group, and a figure in orange-red robes stands in the centre background. Several devotees wear white kurtas and saris, while a woman in an orange patterned top and a man in an orange shirt sit in the foreground. A water glass and bags rest on the bricks.

Outdoor photo of a large seated group on a brick-paved terrace near the sea, with grass, parked cars and trees behind. Many participants wear white clothing and sit cross-legged in rows facing a central area. On the left, a woman in orange-red garments and a man in an orange robe stand near a golden ceremonial stand with a tall staff and a flagged pole. Several white-clad attendees hold cloth bundles or small items. The scene suggests a gathered meditation or satsang session, with a dense crowd of roughly 60 to 80 visible people, some seated in the foreground and others in the background.

Outdoor satsang in a garden setting with dry earth, trees and a red-and-white ornamental arch framing a dark deity murti. A figure seated on a red and gold throne-like chair with orange drapery sits at the centre of the platform beneath the murti. Around them, about two dozen people sit cross-legged on woven mats in white clothes with red and orange shawls and sashes, with several women in white and a few seated in chairs at the edges. Some hold water bottles, a purple bottle sits on the mat, and an audience member in the foreground wears an orange-tinged shawl. A figure at the edge wears a blue and white top and red sash.

Outdoor satsang on a riverbank with a crowd of devotees seated on the ground in rows, many wearing white clothes with orange or red shawls. In the upper right, a tall man in an orange robe and orange shawl stands near the water's edge, and several saffron-robed sannyasis stand among the crowd. Lush green foliage and a leafless tree frame the scene, with a river and an orange-painted structure in the background.

A seated group of roughly two dozen devotees sits on woven mats under large shady trees in an outdoor courtyard. Many wear white or cream clothing with red and orange shawls draped over their shoulders, and several take notes. At the centre back stands a shrine with a blue-arched niche holding a small orange-robed figure, with a framed portrait on a red-cushioned chair in front and red and pink floral offerings below. A man in orange robes sits at the left edge near a stone bench, and a woman in white stands to the right, addressing the group. The scene appears to be a satsang or padukapuja gathering.

A large crowd of devotees sits on the ground outdoors in an evening setting, mostly dressed in white with some in orange and cream. At the centre, a figure with long dark hair wears an orange robe and a white shawl, seated before a group of decorated deity murti framed by yellow and orange garlands. Behind them stand ornate carried shrines or palanquins with colourful fabric canopies, and a few onlookers stand at the back. The gathering appears to be a seated satsang or puja before the processional deities.
