A seated group of men and young men, mostly in white shirts and white dhotis or trousers, sit with eyes closed in meditation or satsang at a hall with cream-yellow walls. Several wear lanyard-style cords with pendants and some have sacred marks on their foreheads. One man in the left foreground holds his palms joined in prayer, and a man in front wears an orange shirt. The image shows a crowd of many attendees; no one is clearly identified as a person, and no ritual objects or speaker are visible in frame.

A photograph of a seated audience during a discourse or satsang. In the foreground a bald man in a white collared shirt sits with eyes closed and a small vibhuti mark on his forehead. Beside him a man with a white tilak and an orange-clothed garment sits with eyes half-open, and other seated men in white and pale shirts, some wearing glasses, fill the rows behind. A man in the lower left with a white tilak mark is also seated, eyes closed. The scene appears to be meditative listening. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible among the people; the orange garment worn by one seated man is the only saffron-coloured clothing present. Background shows a warm-lit hall.

A photograph of a large seated audience at a satsang hall, with many delegates in white and cream clothing wearing lanyard badges, sitting on floor cushions and mats. Several people in the front rows have hands pressed together in anjali mudra or sit in quiet meditation with eyes closed. Warm orange and red drapery forms the backdrop, and a shaft of light falls from the upper right. No speaker is clearly visible in the frame; the focus is on the assembled devotees listening to the talk.

A crowded indoor satsang seen from behind a dense front row of seated devotees. Most wear white dhotis and white shirts, and a few carry malas or wear saffron-orange shawls. Behind them, standing men in white clothes and a man in a grey vest look toward the front of the hall. A man in a light blue shirt sits in the middle of the rows. Yellow walls and a framed poster on the wall form the background. The crowd is large, so the count is given as a range.
