A blurred photograph of a large screen showing a satsang gathering. Rows of seated devotees fill the blue-tinted floor, many women in saffron, orange, green and white saris and salwar. A laptop sits at left and flower arrangements lie on the floor. Behind the crowd, a stage is decorated with garlands and flowers, and figures in white and dark clothing sit along the right side. A small stand of flowers appears in the foreground. The image is a photo of a screen, so the people shown on it are not physically present.

A seated audience of devotees fills a bright hall during a satsang, most sitting on the floor and some on black chairs in the foreground. Many wear orange or saffron robes, others white or cream clothing, and one woman in a green blouse and cream sari sits near the centre. On the stage, a figure in red and gold robes sits before a large painted backdrop of a banyan tree with golden figures, and a gilded throne-like deity arrangement stands at the right. Above the stage, a golden arch frames three decorated deity murti in green and red. A screen at the upper right shows a man in red robes and red headwear, possibly on a live feed. Printed banners and a small blue board stand near the stage edge.

On the left of the screen, several people sit on a colourful patterned floor mat before a shrine decorated with deity murtis and garlands. A man in an orange robe sits at the front-left, a person in white sits near the centre, and a woman in a pink top sits in the middle, with another person in orange in the foreground. The right half of the screen shows a blank purple static pattern. Shrine decorations and offerings are visible behind the group.

On the stage, a figure in orange and red sits on a golden throne decorated with flowers, and beside them a large deity murti with a golden crown and a purple, yellow and white backdrop is set against a red curtain and a carved stone arch. Many people in white, saffron-orange and red clothes sit cross-legged on red mats in the foreground, some with hair in long braids. Tripod cameras stand at the sides, and a large screen on the right shows a figure in white and red with a garland. The crowd appears to be a large group of devotees.

A photograph of a seated ritual gathering in a hall with a large projection screen above. In the foreground, a priest in white dhoti with gold borders and bare chest, with vibhuti-marked forehead and arm bands, sits beside a seated woman in an orange sari. Further back, a bald man in a saffron robe with a rudraksha mala sits near an ornate silver throne-like seat draped with a red and gold cloth. A woman in a purple top and red bindi sits center, and many devotees in white, pink, orange and red clothing fill the rows. A man in orange robes and rudraksha beads sits near the center-right, with a long-haired figure in an orange shawl nearby. The large screen shows a close-up of figures in white and red.

A figure in an orange robe sits on the throne with hands folded in greeting. In front, a row of women in white and cream sarees sit cross-legged on the floor, and a man in orange clothing with rudraksha beads sits at the left edge.
