A large indoor hall with a red velvet drape and white valance across the back stage. A standing figure in an orange-saffron robe stands centre stage beside a yellow ornate throne-like chair and a white lectern with microphone. Audience members sit cross-legged on orange mats in the foreground, mostly in white clothing, many wearing white headbands, with some in pink, grey and yellow garments. A chart with concentric coloured rings labelled with body terms is visible at the left edge. Water bottles sit on the floor among the seated attendees.

Wide view of a large hall filled with a seated crowd of devotees on the floor and in tiered rows, many wearing white garments and white head coverings, with some women in saffron, pink, green and blue saris. In the foreground at lower right, a figure in orange robes with curly grey-black hair sits with back to the camera facing the crowd, on a white-draped platform edged by a green carpet and a red carpet aisle leading toward a stage. A dark banner with red lettering hangs across the back stage. The hall has high steel roof trusses and large windows.

A wide view from the back of a hall toward a stage draped with deep red curtains and white valances. A seated figure in orange robes sits on a gold-yellow armchair behind a white lectern at the centre of the stage. Two projection screens flank the stage. In the foreground, devotees sit cross-legged on yellow mats: men in white kurtas with yellow shawls on the left, and women in white saris with yellow borders on the right. A dais-style setup with a microphone stand suggests a discourse or satsang.

Indoor satsang hall with a seated audience on striped mats, most wearing white clothes and sitting cross-legged or on chairs, some holding notebooks. A woman in an orange and white sari stands at a lectern on a raised stage, speaking into a microphone. Behind her a framed portrait of a saffron-robed man with long hair sits on a brown cushioned seat beside a vase of flowers. Orange and multicoloured banners hang from the ceiling, a projector screen is mounted above, and a video camera on a tripod films the talk. Orange cloth bags rest on the floor in front of the audience.

A large indoor hall with a dark red draped backdrop and yellow-and-blue patterned pillar banners. On a raised white throne-like seat at the front, a figure in saffron-orange robes sits in a meditative pose, with a vase of flowers on a white table beside them. A camera on a tripod faces the stage. Rows of seated audience members in white clothes fill the foreground, mostly seen from behind, with white ceiling fans and white boards at the sides.

Indoor event hall photograph of a seated congregation in white-and-coloured clothing, many with white cloth strips tied over their eyes. A central figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe with long dark hair and a red tilak walks barefoot down a red carpet between the rows toward a stage draped in white and red fabric, decorated with marigold-style flower arrangements, wheat sheaves and a microphone on a lectern. The scene suggests a convention-style gathering with attendees receiving initiation. Swamiji appearance is probable: long swept-back hair, saffron robe and tilak, walking as the central figure.

Red curtains with gold tassels frame the stage, and a projection screen hangs at the side.
