A large crowd of women, many with long braided hair, sits seated on the floor under a white tent canopy at an indoor-outdoor gathering. Most wear white, pastel and bright saris and salwar kameez in pink, yellow, purple, green and orange. A standing man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands near the back of the tent, and a woman in white stands at the left edge. Speakers hang from the tent poles, and a colourful circular backdrop with flower garlands is visible at the top left. A water bottle sits on the floor in the foreground. No identifiable person is clearly visible as the central figure, and the attribution of the event is from the page only.

At the back, a row of framed portraits and banners hangs on a dark blue wall, and a woman in a bright yellow sari stands at the right edge.

A large seated audience fills a covered hall with red carpeting at a person Spurana programme in Chennai. Rows of mostly women in white, cream and saffron saris and salwar sets sit cross-legged, many with long braids and rudraksha-style necklaces, some wearing lanyard name badges. A woman in a vivid pink and lime green sari sits prominently in the foreground, and a woman in a teal blouse and blue sari sits at left. Behind the crowd, a blue backdrop displays framed portrait photographs of spiritual figures decorated with yellow and orange flower garlands, and a banner hangs at right. The crowd appears to number well over a hundred.

A photograph of a large seated audience inside a plain hall with pale green walls and a striped floor mat. Rows of people in white shirts, white dhotis, and colourful saris sit closely together, with women in front in red, orange, blue, pink and white saris, some with gold necklaces and flowers in their hair. Near the top centre, a figure in saffron-orange robes sits among the crowd; the figure's appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is described only as a saffron-robed person.

A large seated audience fills a white-draped tent with green floor matting, facing toward the front of the hall. Many participants wear white, cream and pastel saris and kurtas, with women in pink, yellow, red and blue saris prominent in the foreground. Several sit cross-legged with notebooks, handbags and water bottles beside them. Banners in red and white line the top of the tent, and a small stage backdrop and speaker sit at the front. No individual in the front rows is clearly identifiable as the a person candidate; the view is of the crowd from behind.

A large outdoor satsang under a white tent with red and pink bunting, where a dense crowd sits in rows of white plastic chairs on a red carpet. Many attendees wear white ritual clothes, some women wear red, orange and yellow saris, and a man in the left foreground wears an orange and yellow garment with a marigold garland. Several people sit with hands joined in namaste, and a man in a grey vest and white kurta in the right foreground presses his palms together. Children and elderly devotees are interspersed among the audience. A metal barrier runs across the middle distance, and the stage with the speaker is not visible in the frame.
