Outdoor lunch at an open-air thatched-roof shelter on grass with trees behind. A woman in a white sari with a pink floral border and a red blouse stands at left holding a steel tray of food and a small cup. Men in white dhotis and white shirts sit on the ground and on chairs eating from steel plates, one wearing a rudraksha mala. Several other seated people and a thatched hut are visible in the background.

Outdoor scene at a white building with red trim and a large green tree on the left. Around a dusty ground in front, a row of about a dozen people sit cross-legged on the earth eating from metal plates, most dressed in white with white shirts and mundu or pants, some wearing dark or red tops. A standing man in white shirt and a seated man in white stand near the building's doorway. At the far right, a man in an orange-saffron garment sits apart from the group, and a thatched hut and hedge appear in the background under a clear blue sky.

Outdoor scene on dry dirt ground beside a white-walled structure. Several men in plain white dhotis and white shirts sit cross-legged on yellow cloth mats, eating from fresh green banana leaves set before them. Each leaf holds mounds of white rice and yellow-tinted rice with other food. A man standing at right in a white dhoti and shirt serves food from a metal pot. Other seated people in white clothing, some wearing garlands, and rows of sandals are visible in the background.

A covered open-sided hall with corrugated metal walls and red-orange roof beams, where many men in white shirts and white dhotis sit cross-legged on a concrete floor eating from metal plates. Several standing attendants in white shirts and dhotis move among them, one holding a white cloth. Large plastic water jugs and steel containers sit on a table at left, and a child stands near the entrance by bougainvillea. This appears to be a communal meal serving line, with no identifiable figure presented as a person.

Outdoor lunch break under a thatched open-sided shelter with wooden posts and a red tiled floor, surrounded by green shrubs. Devotees in plain white shirts, white dhotis and white kurtas eat from metal plates; a man in the foreground on the left wears a dark rudraksha-style mala and an ID badge, while a seated man in white holds a plate of food and another man at right eats from a steel plate. Several women in white saris and cream blouses also sit and eat. Light-coloured plastic chairs and a few people standing with plates suggest a communal meal during an inner healing training break.

Outdoor satsang on a grassy lawn under trees, with a large crowd of devotees seated on mats and grass. Most wear white kurtas, white dhotis or white shirts, while a few wear colourful shirts, a teal top and a red shirt. Some men sit in plastic chairs at the back. A man in a white shirt stands near the left, and a man in a white shirt stands at the right edge. A tiled-roof pavilion with glass walls and an orange-red building stands behind them, with palms and a papaya plant at right. Sandals are scattered on the grass in the foreground.

A photograph inside an open-sided pavilion with a corrugated roof, where a puja is taking place on a bare concrete floor. Several rows of people sit cross-legged in white clothes with orange shawls. A man in a white kurta and a bare-chested figure with white dhoti kneel near the center, bowed toward the floor, with brass vessels and banana leaves in front of them. Two women in white and orange sit at right with hands joined. Large framed portraits hang on the back walls, and a cameraman in white stands at left. Orange flags on bamboo poles rise from the floor. Relevant cues are a bowing devotee, offerings on leaves, and the ritual setting.
