A large indoor hall filled with seated devotees, mostly women, dressed in white sarees with coloured borders and tied with green and white rosette badges. Many sit on white mats in rows, some with hands pressed together in namaste or clapping. Colourful striped hanging banners and a white tent canopy decorate the ceiling, with speakers and metal scaffolding overhead. At left, a deity murti and a large framed portrait sit near the stage area. Several men in white are visible at the back and right. The scene suggests a satsang gathering in progress.

In the foreground, several women sit cross-legged in white saris with black beaded necklaces; the woman at left holds her palms together in prayer with a sacred mark on her forehead, the centre woman claps with eyes closed, and the woman at right wears a yellow-bordered sari with a floral pattern and a mala. Behind them, more devotees in white and orange clothes sit and stand, some clapping, and a man in white raises his arm at the upper left. Stage lighting gives the scene a hazy, purple tint.

A large indoor hall at an evening programme with rows of seated women dressed in white saris with coloured borders, many wearing garlands of flowers and name badges. In the foreground a woman in a green and gold sari with a garland smiles and holds her hands together in namaste, while others in orange-bordered white clothing sit with folded hands or look toward the front. Two large portraits of a woman appear on the back wall, and a metal truss structure, a hanging orange cloth and green and orange garlands decorate the room.

A seated audience of many women and some men in white ritual-style clothing fills a hall for a session. Most wear white saris with gold or cream borders and black beaded necklaces, with ID badges visible on some. Many have their palms pressed together in namaste or clapping. Two large framed portrait photographs hang on the back wall; one shows a woman in an orange and white garment with a raised hand, the other a woman with long dark hair in a light garment. Plain white chairs and a wall fan are visible.

A large audience of devotees sits cross-legged on a bare concrete floor inside a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and fluorescent tube lights. Most wear white ritual clothes, several with white or orange-bordered shawls and beaded necklaces. A man in the foreground left with an orange shawl holds a camera at his shoulder and looks toward the front. A woman in white with a yellow-bordered sari sits with hands pressed together in namaste. In the bottom right corner a monk in orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits with palms joined. Framed photographs and banners line the far wall behind a metal railing, and a standing man in white stands at the right edge. Several people in the crowd are visibly smiling, and some are seated on a raised area near the rear. The setting appears to be a satsang or discourse gathering.

A seated congregation of women and some men in white ritual clothes sits on a dark carpet in a dimly lit hall, facing forward with hands folded in prayer or resting in laps. Many wear white saris or white dhotis with coloured borders, some with orange or peach shawls, and several wear beaded necklaces and bangles. A woman in a red blouse and white sari sits near the centre, and a woman in a pink sari sits at left. Some wear identification badges on their clothing. The setting suggests a satsang or meditation gathering, with the speaker or altar not visible in the frame.
