A photograph of a large seated congregation of women in white and cream traditional dress with gold borders, many wearing rudraksha malas and rust-coloured beaded mala necklaces, with white forehead markings and sandalwood or vibhuti tilaks. Foreground women sit cross-legged with hands in anjali mudra, eyes closed, while others meditate or listen; a child sits at left. The hall has cream walls, wooden doors and a blue-and-white banner in the background. Nothing visible indicates a specific named programme beyond the hall setting.

A photograph of a seated satsang gathering on white floor sheets, with several women in white ritual clothing and a foreground pair of women in rust-red saris with gold borders and wooden rudraksha malas. The two foreground women sit close to the camera; one has a red bindi and nose stud, the other wears a white tilak on her forehead and holds a small brass bell or lamp in her hand. Behind them, women in white salwar or sari, some with eyes closed and some reading small booklets, sit in rows. A pale wall, white cloths and a red carpet edge frame the room. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible.

Many devotees sit cross-legged on red cushions wearing white and red clothing with white forehead markings. In the centre-right, a shaved-headed woman in an all-white outfit with a rudraksha-style mala necklace rests her hands on a tablet, while a woman with short blonde hair in a white embroidered kurta stands beside her. A woman on the left wears a red blouse with a red bindi and kumkum. An orange-clad figure appears at the lower right, and a water bottle sits on the cushions. No central figure is clearly visible.

A woman in the foreground wears an orange saffron sari with a rudraksha mala and sits with hands folded. Others in white with red shawls and name badges sit on chairs behind, some with eyes closed.

A large seated audience of devotees in white clothing with orange-red shawls sits with eyes closed, appearing to meditate during a satsang. Foreground women include a blonde woman with long hair, a woman with curly white hair wearing a rudraksha mala, and a woman with wavy blonde hair; many others fill the rows behind. A red and white stage backdrop and a white statue are visible at the top right, while a partially visible figure in orange sits at the far right. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly seen in this crowd shot, so the figure at the edge is uncertain.

In the foreground a woman in a white sari sits with hands folded, a woman in purple lower garment and rudraksha mala sits beside a woman in an orange top, and a girl in white with an event badge sits at left. Several people wear lanyards and name badges. Orange cushions and a red bag lie on the floor. The frontal stage area and any teacher are out of frame, so no a person candidate is visible.
