A photograph of a large indoor hall with a corrugated metal roof and exposed steel trusses, filled with seated devotees in white clothing on the floor. Many attendees wear white kurtas or saris with lanyards; some wear orange or brown garments. In the foreground a brass-rimmed vessel holding a lit flame sits on an orange cloth, while a woman in white and a blonde woman in white press their palms together. A cameraman stands behind a tripod in the middle of the room, and a man in white stands near the back. Framed photographs and colourful banners line the upper wall. The setting suggests a satsang or ritual gathering, though no specific ceremony is clearly visible.

Night satsang in an open-air tent with colourful circular fringed canopies. Seated devotees in rows on striped mats face a stage, with a large screen behind showing a projected figure in orange robes and a rudraksha-style necklace seated in meditation posture. Several people in white garments stand and sit near the stage, and brass trident-topped ritual staffs and potted plants flank the area. Many men and women in dhotis and plain clothes sit cross-legged in the foreground. The projected figure on screen is a depiction; no physical person on stage is clearly identifiable as a person, so the in-person status is unsure.
