Two adults in white and orange stand behind, one woman in an orange sari is at left, and a yellow and orange hanging decoration appears at top right.

A photograph of a group meditation session held outdoors under a corrugated metal roof beside a white-washed wall. A standing person in a bright red sleeveless top and orange skirt with an orange shawl over one shoulder faces the seated group with their back to the camera. Thirty-plus seated participants wear white blindfold-style headbands; many wear white or pastel clothes, a man in a grey hoodie and jeans sits cross-legged, and a man in a white t-shirt and dark trousers sits on his heels in the foreground. A green mat and framed photographs are visible on the wall, and a camera on a tripod stands at the right. Several other people in orange robes are visible in the background.

A photograph of a meeting hall at an ashram where a seated group of devotees listens to a speaker on a raised platform. The central figure wears an orange-saffron robe and stands before a framed portrait and an oil lamp. Many attendees sit cross-legged on the floor in white clothing, including white shirts and white saris, and several women wear braids. Orange cloth banners hang along the wall behind the platform, and a whiteboard and a television sit to the side. Two framed images hang on the left wall. The scene conveys an organized satsang or discourse.

A woman in an orange sari in the centre smiles and gestures, while a bearded man in orange robes walks nearby. At the far end, an illuminated deity murti decorated with garlands is visible through a doorway. Framed photographs hang on the right wall and a blue plastic chair sits near the wall.

A seated figure in an orange saffron robe sits on an orange-draped low dais in an open-sided pavilion, with a microphone on a stand before him. Around him stand and crouch many children and adults; several girls wear white and orange dresses and necklaces, a woman in a cream sari with a brown border stands at center, and women in blue and turquoise saris are at right. A bald elderly man in white shirt and mundu wears a rudraksha-style mala, and a man in a striped shirt stands beside an older man in a checked shirt. Some men wear orange shawls and white clothing. Pink and purple tinsel decorations hang on the pillars, and a sandy courtyard with white lines lies beyond. A vase of red flowers sits at the dais edge.
