A photograph of a seated gathering inside a temple hall during construction or making-of work. In the centre, a man in an orange robe sits cross-legged on a low platform, speaking to an audience of many people seated on the grey carpet. The audience wears white, cream and red clothing; several women wear saris and one man wears a dark rudraksha mala. Behind the speaker, draped white and cream cloth covers large shapes, a golden arched frame stands beside a tall metal scaffold, and brass lamp stands are placed near a white-draped pedestal. On the left, a golden throne with a red cloth sits near a few seated people in orange and white. A camera on a tripod records the scene.

Indoor satsang in a red-walled hall with a large golden Nataraja arch behind a raised seated figure. A seated person in red-orange robes sits on a golden throne-like seat before a small lectern, with brass lamps lit on either side. A woman in long dark hair and an orange shawl stands at right speaking into a microphone. Dozens of seated devotees in white clothes with red-orange shawls fill the floor, many with their backs to the camera. Brass oil lamps, a small deity figure, and framed images decorate the room.

A seated group gathers on a wooden floor in a bright hall for a satsang-style gathering. At the far left, a woman with long dark hair and a red-orange garment sits on a cushion facing the room, hands near brass oil lamps set on a patterned red rug. Beside her, a bald man in orange robes sits cross-legged, and another man in orange sits nearby. Several women wear white sarees and saffron-coloured clothing, and men in white kurtas and rudraksha malas sit in rows along the right. Brass oil lamps, a small floral arrangement, a fan, and a loudspeaker are visible. A video camera on a tripod stands at the right edge. Yellow curtains and red drapes frame the room, and a framed display is mounted above. A person in white stands near the back wall.

A photograph of an outdoor temple-courtyard gathering with a seated group of devotees in orange and saffron clothing. A standing woman in an orange sari with a gold border and a black shoulder bag gestures with her right hand while speaking to the seated group. Several seated people wear rudraksha malas; some have shaved heads and white tilak markings on their arms and chests. Two black stone guardian figures flank the orange walls, and a deity murti decorated with garlands is visible in the sanctum beyond. In front of the group sit brass vessels, a plate of bananas, and a small low table covered with a leopard-print cloth. The scene reads as a satsang-style teaching session. No individual can be reliably identified as a person from appearance in this image.

In front of the platform, a seated audience in white clothing, with some women in red and saffron saris, faces forward. Behind the speaker, a tall gold-trimmed arch, a dark bronze deity murti, and several large white shrouded sculptures and a purple shrouded form stand on stone pedestals. Brass oil lamps and a tripod-mounted camera are visible near the stage, with a fan and ladder in the background. Wall-mounted lights and a red exit sign are visible.
