Indoor photograph of a seated assembly in a pavilion with white-covered sofas and chairs, yellow floor markings, and a white table holding a flower arrangement in a copper pot. Several saffron-robed swamis and monks sit in front, one in saffron with a shaved head, another with a grey beard in saffron. A woman in a yellow sari sits in the centre, and a woman in orange sits at the far right. Standing men in white ritual clothes and orange shawls line the back, and a bare-chested man in white dhoti stands at the left. Banners and framed portraits hang on the walls behind them.

Indoor satsang hall with a seated assembly facing a central stage. Several swamis in saffron and orange robes sit on white-draped sofas and chairs, and a man in a light tan robe sits centrally near a microphone with a small white table and pink flower arrangement in front. A woman in a yellow sari sits nearby. Around the front, rows of devotees in white clothes and orange shawls sit cross-legged on the floor. A man in orange is seated on a leopard-print sofa at right, with a turbaned figure further back. Colourful striped rugs line the floor and a curtained backdrop with lattice panels fills the background. Visible people number roughly 30, and no clear appearance-based candidate for a person stands out with sufficient cues, so the identity is left unsure.

A photo taken indoors at a hall with white-draped tables, a microphone on a stand, and a pink flower arrangement in a ceramic pot on a white-covered table. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits on a white chair at right, hands pressed together in greeting, smiling toward a figure in white with an orange shawl kneeling at right. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes with hands pressed together sits on a chair, with another orange-robed man and a seated man in yellow and orange attire on the left. Two other seated people in orange and a woman in yellow with orange-bordered cloth sit on floor mats in the foreground. A standing man in white and an orange shawl is at the back, and a pedestal fan stands at the right edge.

A seated teacher in orange robes sits on a large white cushioned throne-style chair on a raised stage, speaking into a microphone on a stand with a laptop and water bottle on a small table beside him. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Before him on an orange floor mat, a group of devotees in white clothes and yellow neck cords sit cross-legged, facing the stage with their backs to the camera. A dark maroon curtain hangs behind the stage. Several participants are bald or have short hair, and one wears a yellow shirt while another wears a grey top. The setting appears to be a hall for satsang or discourse.

A photograph of an indoor meeting in a small room with a red drape backdrop and a blue floor mat. A long-haired man in orange robes sits cross-legged at centre, gesturing with one hand while speaking. Beside him, a shaved-headed monk in orange sits on the mat. Standing behind them are two more orange-robed monks, one with a rudraksha mala, and a man in white dhoti and shirt. Seated in armchairs and on the front edge are about a dozen men in white shirts and dhotis, listening. A table fan and a camera are at the right edge, and a colourful striped pillar stands against the wall.

A indoor hall with a tented ceiling and banners on the walls, where a seated gathering is in session. A woman in a red top sits at the centre-right behind a microphone stand and a small table holding a flower arrangement. Around her, a row of seated saffron-robed monastics face her on white chairs and on the floor, with several devotees in white and orange clothing seated in front. A man with a shaved head in orange robes sits at the right edge, and a television screen is mounted on a cabinet at the back. Several people in white and orange sit in a semicircle on the sand-coloured floor.
