A large indoor hall with a corrugated metal roof and exposed steel trusses shows a seated congregation on woven mats. Many people in white ritual clothes sit in rows, several with hands pressed together in prayer. Women on the left wear saris in yellow, cream and red, and some wear garlands. In the foreground, brass oil lamps (lamps) and a brass vessel are arranged on the mats, and a few men in white dhotis and shawls sit facing the front. A white cloth-draped figure and an orange-clad person stand near the back. Speakers hang from the walls and ceiling.

A large indoor hall with a corrugated metal roof and exposed steel trusses holds a seated congregation of devotees. In the foreground, children and young people in plain white clothes sit on mats, some with white garlands, several in white dhotis and shirts. Behind them rows of adults sit in white, and a few women wear saffron, maroon and pink saris. Along the right, brass oil lamps stand in a row on a mat in front of the seated crowd, and a brass bowl sits near the bottom edge. A doorway at the back opens to a dark interior, and a saffron cloth hangs at the upper left. No one is clearly identifiable as the swami; the people seated at the front are devotees.

A large seated crowd fills an indoor hall during an event, with most people wearing white clothes. Many women in white saris and white outfits sit on the floor, some wearing rudraksha malas around their necks. Several people have hands raised or pressed together in devotional gestures, and one woman in an orange-and-white checked top with an orange shawl sits among them. A woman in a blue-and-white patterned top covers her face with her hands in the foreground. Overhead, banners with orange and yellow patterns hang from the ceiling and a framed display board is mounted on the wall. No single presiding figure is clearly identifiable in the frame.

A seated audience of men in plain white shirts and white dhotis sits on a wooden floor during a satsang or discourse at an ashram hall. Many wear lanyards with ID badges and small pendants. Behind them are framed displays of ornate gold and jewelled necklaces on a dark backdrop, and a round brass plate hangs on the white wall. The camera looks toward the seated devotees, whose faces are turned forward, and no speaker or a person candidate is visible in the frame.

A dense indoor gathering of devotees seated on the floor in a wood-panelled hall, with a row of framed portraits and statues on shelves in the background. Most men wear white shirts and white dhotis, many with lanyards or white neck cords; women wear white, cream and green saris with bindis. Children sit among them. A man in the upper left stands with white clothes. The crowd fills the frame.

A photograph of a large indoor hall with white-walled interior and red curtains at the windows, filled with seated devotees dressed almost entirely in white. A man in a white shirt holds a microphone and speaks while another man in white stands nearby, gesturing. Several people in white stand at the back, and many women in white saris and cotton garments sit on the floor in rows, some wearing rudraksha-style beads and red thread. A few small framed pictures hang on the walls. No clear appearance-based candidate for the a person role is visible, so the scene is described by roles only.

A large indoor hall filled with a dense audience of men seated and standing in rows, almost all dressed in white shirts and white dhotis, several wearing purple lanyards or badges. Many face toward the front, watching an event off-frame. Yellow and orange hanging fabric decorations and a small screen are visible near the ceiling, and white tent-style canopy panels overhead. The crowd is dense in the foreground and extends toward the back wall.

A wide photo of a session hall with a raised stage at the back. Two people in saffron-orange robes sit on the stage, one in the centre near a yellow cushion and another to the left, with a framed portrait and a deity murti on a decorated backdrop behind them. Orange drapes and rows of hanging garlands frame the stage, and oil lamps stand before it. Many seated devotees in white clothes face the stage in the foreground, while a man in white stands at the left holding a microphone and papers beside a glass cabinet. Ceiling fans and tube lights hang overhead.
