A night-time evening session with a large seated audience of devotees, mostly men in white kurtas, light shirts and jackets, many wearing glasses. In the foreground a bearded man in a dark jacket with an orange-beaded mala sits attentively, beside a young man in a blue jacket. Further back a bald man in white with folded arms and a man in a light blue top sit on the grounds, and a woman in a red top sits at right. Blue plastic chairs and a white table sit at the back, with a blue bin at upper right. The gathering appears to be listening to a talk or satsang.

A photograph of a large seated audience at a satsang hall, with many delegates in white and cream clothing wearing lanyard badges, sitting on floor cushions and mats. Several people in the front rows have hands pressed together in anjali mudra or sit in quiet meditation with eyes closed. Warm orange and red drapery forms the backdrop, and a shaft of light falls from the upper right. No speaker is clearly visible in the frame; the focus is on the assembled devotees listening to the talk.

A large seated gathering of devotees at a night satsang, sitting cross-legged on mats in rows facing forward. Most wear white kurta or shirts, with some in grey shirts and a few in orange or saffron shawls; many have identity badges on lanyards. Strings of coloured fairy lights glow in the background above a stone structure, and a few people stand near the back, one holding a camera. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in the frame.

A large outdoor night gathering of many seated devotees in dense rows on a field, most dressed in white shirts with dark rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, while others wear orange, saffron, striped or checked clothes and some wear head cloths or orange head scarves. Floodlights and a strip of festive string lights glow at the back. Near the centre, a bearded figure in a long orange-saffron robe sits among the crowd, distinguished by his long white beard and flowing saffron garment; this is an appearance-based candidate for a person, seated in the crowd and not on a throne, with the cues being the saffron robe and long beard, which is uncertain enough to set a person to unsure. Many people sit with eyes closed in meditation.
