A discourse hall with a seated speaker on a raised stage behind a golden ornate throne with red cushioning, dressed in orange robes. Rows of devotees in white clothes sit cross-legged on orange and striped mats facing the stage, many with shaved heads. Drums, a camera on a tripod, and a projection screen are visible, along with flower vases beside the throne and a small table with water bottles in the foreground. The speaker on the throne has long hair and wears orange clothing, consistent with a person presence, though the face is not clearly discernible at this distance.

A photograph of a large seated audience during a discourse in an ashram hall. Many devotees sit cross-legged on orange cloths and striped mats, mostly in white clothing, with a few wearing yellow sashes and some in darker or colourful casual dress. Several seated people face the front toward a raised stage area with a video camera on a tripod recording. A projection screen hangs at the top, and orange and white decor is visible. Some people hold notebooks and pens. The scene is a satsang-style teaching gathering, with no visible candidate for a person among the people shown.

In front of the stage, a row of seated attendees in white clothing sits on blue-and-white striped mats, several with bags and backpacks beside them; one bald man in white has a red cord around his neck. Red-draped windows line the far wall, and a framed portrait hangs on the right. A video camera on a tripod and a monitor stand near the stage.

A photograph inside a large hall with cream tiled floor and ceiling fans. In the foreground, a circle of about a dozen devotees sits on red mats in white dhotis and white kurtas, many wearing red and orange shawls. One woman in an orange sari with a red shawl sits near the centre, and another woman in white and a striped shawl sits on the right. A man on the left gestures toward the circle while others listen. Behind them, more people in white sit on mats, and a gilded throne-like seat with a red and gold canopy stands on a raised stage at the back. A camera on a tripod and a television screen are set up near the stage.

A photograph of a seated group of mostly shaved-headed men in white shirts and white dhotis sitting on an orange mat, facing a stage area at the front of a hall. Some participants wear saffron or yellow garments and one wears a black top; a few seated figures have headphones. A tripod-mounted camera and a whiteboard stand are visible at the right, with a maroon curtain and a stepped white platform at the back. Several people in the background wear white, and a water bottle sits on the floor. The gathering appears to be a seated session with participants attending a talk. Approximately 21-100 people are visible.

A seated group session in a hall with red floor mats and a few red-cushioned chairs, with white-clad participants sitting on the mats. In the centre a man in a white shirt and trousers with a blue lanyard badge sits cross-legged, looking down at a notepad, while a standing man in white kurta-style clothing bends down to speak with him. A man on the left sits on the mat, and a bald older man in a white dhoti with a green-and-gold border sits in the foreground. Others in white clothes, some with notebooks, are seated around the room, and a few orange cloths lie on the mats. Ornate shrine decorations appear at the back of the hall. No visible person is identified as a person, and the scene shows participants in a study or discussion session.

A photograph of a seated gathering inside a temple hall during construction or making-of work. In the centre, a man in an orange robe sits cross-legged on a low platform, speaking to an audience of many people seated on the grey carpet. The audience wears white, cream and red clothing; several women wear saris and one man wears a dark rudraksha mala. Behind the speaker, draped white and cream cloth covers large shapes, a golden arched frame stands beside a tall metal scaffold, and brass lamp stands are placed near a white-draped pedestal. On the left, a golden throne with a red cloth sits near a few seated people in orange and white. A camera on a tripod records the scene.
