A seated figure in orange robes sits in a white chair on a raised platform in a bright hall with a metal-roofed ceiling, facing a seated audience. Behind the platform a painted backdrop of a forest scene frames a golden shrine with a framed portrait and garlands. Rows of blue plastic chairs hold uniformed policemen in khaki and white-shirted men seated on the floor in white clothes. A two-person group in orange and rudraksha malas sits at the right edge beside a table. Four or more people are clearly visible in the scene.

A indoor meeting in a plain white hall with a corrugated metal roof and exposed steel trusses. On a raised stage at the back, a seated woman in an orange sari sits on a cushioned seat in front of a large backdrop of a forest scene, with a golden shrine-like structure, a gold canopy, and a framed portrait placed at the centre. Rows of seated men face the stage: several in white shirts and dhotis on the left, and others in khaki uniform-style shirts on blue plastic chairs in the foreground. A monk in orange robes sits at the right edge of the stage area. Microphones, speakers and a camera on a tripod are set up in the room.

A photograph of a seated group session in a plain white-walled hall with wooden flooring. A woman in an orange sari with a dark-red border sits on an orange cushioned seat at the right, speaking into a microphone on a stand, with a whiteboard and speaker behind her. Along the left, about twenty men in white shirts and white dhotis sit cross-legged on mats, several with name badges, while a woman in a patterned sari with a long braid sits in the foreground with a notebook. A standing man in a light shirt stands near the doorway at the back. Orange-and-blue decorative hangings are mounted on the walls. No one visible is clearly identifiable as the swami; the orange-clad speaker is a presenter in a seat, not a clearly identifiable a person.

A satsang session in an indoor hall with white walls and red and black chairs. A person in orange-saffron robes sits on an orange armchair at the top of the frame, speaking to a seated audience. Many devotees face away from the camera, mostly men in white shirts and white clothing, with women in orange, maroon and brown saris seated among them. A small wall-mounted fan and a window are visible.

A photograph of a small whitewashed hall with a corrugated roof and ceiling fans, where a seated teacher in orange robes sits on a white cushioned throne-like seat speaking into a microphone. Beside him stands a second person in orange robes with a beaded mala, holding papers. A row of seated devotees in chairs, mostly men in shirts, faces the dais, and a video camera on a tripod records the scene. An orange cloth covers the floor before the seat. A yellow door with a painted emblem is on the right wall.

A seated man with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron robe and sits on a white-draped throne-style chair in front of a plain white wall, a microphone on a stand before him. Several seated men in front, including one in an orange robe and others in shirts, face him from folding chairs, while a camera on a tripod stands at right. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in the saffron robe, with long swept-back hair, is seated on a white throne and addressing the gathering. A small white bolster rests beside him. Orange cloth covers the floor.

At the centre front, a woman in orange robes and a beaded necklace sits on a white throne-like seat with a raised white backdrop, apparently speaking into a microphone. Another woman in orange stands to her right. Seated audience members face the stage on cane-backed chairs, including a man in orange with a shawl at the foreground. A woman in white with a yellow shawl stands in the foreground near a video camera on a tripod, and a few women in white with yellow shawls are seated at left, one writing in a notebook. A striped green, red and white mat covers the floor.

A photo of a discourse hall with a seated speaker in orange robes on a white raised dais and throne-like chair, a microphone stand beside her, a laptop on the left. Rows of seated attendees sit on mats along the right, many in white and some in orange clothing, some wearing lanyards. A blue mat lies on the floor before the dais, and an open wooden door and small fan are visible at the back of the hall.
