A large seated audience fills a hall with a white tent-style ceiling, ceiling fans, and tall colourful cylindrical banners with tasselled ends hanging on the walls. A standing man in a white kurta holds a handheld microphone in his right hand and gestures with his left hand on his chest while speaking to the seated crowd, most of whom wear white clothes and lanyards. Orange and red floor mats cover the ground, and a bald man in a light shirt sits in the lower right foreground.

A large hall with orange floor mats and orange-and-white hanging decorations seats a dense group of devotees sitting cross-legged in rows. Most men wear plain white dhotis and shirts, some in pale yellow or striped shirts, many with name badges on their chests. Several in front press palms together in anjali mudra while others sit with hands resting on their laps. A man at lower right wears a rudraksha mala and folds his hands in prayer. Women in colourful saris sit among them at the back. Stacked chairs line the far wall and a figure in white stands near the back, with a blue sign on the right wall.

A photograph of a large tented hall where a seated crowd of men in white shirts and white dhotis sits cross-legged on striped woven mats facing a raised dais at the far left. On the dais, an orange-clad figure sits on a red cushioned seat beside a gold kalasha-like pot, a framed portrait and a floral arrangement; the figure's features are not clear enough to confirm identity. Hanging from the white ceiling are colourful beaded pillars and a large yellow cloth. Behind the seated devotees, a painted backdrop shows a deity scene, and a camera on a tripod records the gathering. Several people in the foreground wear lanyards.

A large seated congregation of devotees fills a hall decorated with hanging colourful tassel banners in yellow, red and blue. Most men wear white shirts or white dhotis with rudraksha malas, and some have saffron or orange cloths. Several men in front sit with hands in lap or folded, and a figure in saffron/orange robes sits near the centre in the crowd. Chairs are stacked along the right edge, and a screen is mounted on the back wall.

Most attendees wear white dhotis and white shirts and many have rudraksha malas and lanyard badges. A man in the foreground at left rests his hand on his head, and a man in a striped shirt and dark trousers with a rudraksha mala sits in the centre-right.

A photograph of a large hall filled with seated devotees on orange mats during a satsang gathering. Many men wear white shirts and white dhotis, and several wear round red-and-white badges. Some younger boys in blue, yellow and striped shirts sit in the front rows. Colourful striped pillars with tassels hang from the ceiling, and orange curtains frame the doorways at the back, where a few people stand. No individual is clearly identifiable as the speaker, and the focal point of the audience is off-frame.

A large seated congregation of men dressed in white shirts and white dhotis sits on red mats in a bright hall with cream walls and high windows. Many wear rudraksha malas and several have red or orange shawls draped over their shoulders. Some hold small yellow booklets or papers and a few have hands folded in devotion. In the foreground a bespectacled man with grey hair and a clean-shaven man with a rudraksha mala sit closest to the camera. A small saffron-and-yellow decorated banner hangs from the ceiling at the top of the frame, and a few figures stand near the far back. The seated group appears to be attending a satsang or sangha gathering.
