A large hall with cream walls and framed portraits of robed figures along the wall, with red valances above them. Rows of seated men in white dhotis and shawls sit on mats, many with brass puja plates and small lamps set before them.

Many more people, including some in white and some in colourful clothing, fill the background seating under ceiling lights.

A large hall filled with seated devotees on blue-and-white striped mats during a Bhagavad Gita satsang. Many men and boys wear white kurta-style clothes, while others wear orange, yellow and grey garments; a few have saffron or green head coverings and rudraksha malas. Several people sit on the floor in rows facing the front, and red curtains hang beneath framed portraits along the back wall. At the far end, an orange-robed figure stands near the front, but no appearance cues allow a confident identification, so the figure is described only by role. Ceiling lights and small brass lamps are visible on the floor near the front rows.

Framed portraits hang along the back wall above red-draped windows, and a small emblem appears in the upper left corner.

A large indoor satsang hall with pale pink walls and red curtains, filled with seated devotees on mats and cushions. Most men wear white dhotis and shirts, while some younger boys wear casual shirts and a few wear rudraksha-style neck beads or lanyards. A young man in front wears a white dhoti and sacred thread-like cord and smiles, and several people press palms together in anjali. Stacked red and white mats are at the right, and a small framed picture hangs on the back wall. A banner is visible in the background. No central figure is clearly identifiable as a leader in this view.

A wide indoor hall with cream walls and red curtains holds a seated assembly of devotees on mats across a polished floor. Framed portraits hang along the back wall above the windows, and a small stage with a seated figure is visible at the far end. In the foreground, several men wear white dhotis with saffron-bordered shawls and orange robes, some with rudraksha malas, and one man in a red top sits on a blue mat. Plates of food and small packets sit before the front row.

Indoor hall with a seated audience on blue-and-white striped mats, most people in white dhotis and kurtas, some in colourful shirts, sitting on chairs at the right and facing toward the front. Framed portraits of saints and deities in red-curtained niches line the back wall, and the ceiling has recessed lights. Several people in the audience appear to be attending a satsang or discourse.

A photograph of a large hall with a pale pink wall and polished floor, where a seated congregation of many people sits on mats in rows facing forward. In the foreground, several men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas sit cross-legged, with small brass pooja plates, offerings and oil lamps placed before them on the floor. Men in white dhotis and white shirts sit among the crowd, and others wear white and red garments. Framed portraits hang on the back wall between red and white bunting, and a pale orange cloth is visible at the far right. No speaker's face is clearly identifiable from the visible cues, and the page does not name anyone present. The scene suggests a group satsang or puja session.

A wide hall at an ashram-style venue with rows of seated people on mats, many of them children and teenagers in white, grey and coloured shirts, sitting cross-legged on woven mats with small plates of offerings and oil lamps in front of them.

Walls display framed portraits and red-and-white bunting, with a red-draped stage and a black screen at the far end. The room appears to be a satsang or puja gathering with devotees seated in orderly lines.
