Photograph of a seated congregation in a small room decorated with many framed devotional prints of deities and saints on the walls, including Shiva and Krishna images. At the centre a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe speaks into a microphone, seated before a backdrop with a flower garland, a framed portrait labelled with a Sanskrit-style caption, and a yellow-and-white decorated wall hanging. Foreground devotees in orange shawls and knitted caps face him, some with their backs to the camera; one wears a maroon head covering and a pale sage garment.

Indoor satsang in a plain room with pale blue wall panels and a dozen-plus framed deity posters behind an ornate red and gold canopy over a decorated altar. A man in orange robes with long dark hair stands centrally holding a microphone and speaking, a person whose long swept-back hair and orange robes with a rudraksha mala qualify him, though appearance alone leaves identity uncertain. Seated devotees in orange robes and white clothing fill the foreground on white plastic chairs and the floor, including a person in yellow with a long braid and a bald man in white. A camera on a tripod and a speaker stand at left, with an assistant in orange at the far left edge. Garlands hang on the altar and a deity murti sits within the canopy. Audience counted at roughly 20 to 30 visible people.

Indoor photograph of a seated congregation in a hall facing a front dais. Many people sit cross-legged in the foreground, most wearing orange or saffron shawls and wraps, with some in white garments and a few with grey or teal head coverings. At the far end, a figure in red or orange clothing sits near a microphone stand before a large red and gold drape and framed devotional prints of deities hung on the walls.

Indoor photo of a Gurukul session in an office-like hall with computers and desks behind. Many seated children and young people in orange and saffron clothing, several boys with shaved heads and orange turbans, sit on the floor facing a figure at right. A person in a rust-red wrapped garment with bare shoulders and long dark hair sits cross-legged on a red cushioned seat beside a small wooden table and a microphone on a stand. Women in orange saris sit in the foreground.

A seated group of devotees in a plain room listens to a speaker at a microphone on a stand. The speaker, in the left foreground, wears an orange-saffron head wrap and an orange cloth draped over a pink top, seated on a folding chair. Around him, many people sit cross-legged on a yellow patterned mat, most in orange-saffron shawls; some wear white, one woman in a teal salwar and another in a grey sari. A few sit on white plastic chairs along the back wall. A dark green marble pillar stands at centre, with a framed picture and garland on the wall behind. Some participants have eyes closed in meditation, and small books lie on the mat. Lighting is fluorescent. The gathering reads as a satsang or discourse.

A photograph of a discourse in a small room with a wall covered in colourful religious posters and framed deity images. A man with long dark hair and an orange robe sits centrally, speaking into a microphone with a sheet of paper in hand, before a small altar with a framed portrait garlanded in marigolds and oil lamps. A rows of seated devotees in orange shawls face him, several wearing knit caps, with a tripod-mounted camera at the left edge. The setting resembles a yatra satsang in a pilgrimage lodge.

Photograph of a seated gathering inside a tent with red and yellow striped fabric draped overhead and a calendar poster with a religious picture hanging on the wall. Several men in saffron and orange robes sit on a white sheet over a red carpet. A bearded man in an orange robe with a red beaded necklace sits centrally, and a turbaned man in orange with a long grey beard sits at the right edge. Other sadhus in orange and ochre, some with shaved heads or wrapped turbans, sit in rows, and a woman in orange sits at the lower left. A man in a yellow robe sits in the foreground with his back partly turned. No individual is clearly identifiable as the a person from appearance alone.
