A photograph of a seated audience on orange floor mats in a hall with red drapes, facing a stage. A large screen behind the stage shows a glowing red-and-purple Shiva face with a crescent moon. On the stage, a figure in orange robes sits on a gold-and-red throne cushioned seat, with a trident and a standing statue to the side. Many attendees wear white clothes, some bare-chested with sacred threads, and a few wear orange. Two video cameras on tripods film the stage. The scene reads as a satsang with a seated teaching figure. The figure on the throne is an unconfirmed candidate and wears orange robes, but identity is not established from appearance.

Photograph of a satsang hall facing a stage backed by a large screen showing a glowing temple tower and a crimson sky. A man seated on a white ornate throne wears an orange-saffron cloth and a red-orange head wrap, with a cushion behind him; he is presumably the a person based on the saffron/orange clothing and the throne, though the face is not visible. To the left stands a garlanded deity murti under a decorated canopy, and to the right a deity shrine with a figure in red and gold. Rows of devotees sit on the floor facing the stage, mostly in white dhotis and orange cloths, many bare-shouldered, with some on white chairs at the front. Cameras on tripods film the scene.

Wide view of an indoor hall with a red draped stage and a large golden throne-like seat on which a figure in orange robes sits centrally. Two large screens on either side show the same seated man in orange with rudraksha malas and a red-and-white backdrop. Rows of seated audience members in white clothes and rudraksha malas face the stage, with several viewers in chairs at the front. Camera tripods and a small white projection screen stand on the stage floor, and gold-topped posts line the aisle. The seated figure on the throne with the long hair and orange clothing and rudraksha malas is a person, the appearance cues being the swept-back hair, orange robes and rudraksha malas, though the distance limits certainty.
