Indoor hall photographed from the side during a session. In the centre, a woman in a long orange-red robe stands with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, facing a white projection screen on a stand. To the left, a group of people in white clothes and white dhotis stand with hands folded, some wearing red or orange shawls, and a few younger men in casual clothes sit on orange and white mats on the floor. A bright studio light on a tripod stands beside the screen, a small projector sits on a white-draped table, and a yellow-draped table is at the right. A colourful patterned banner hangs from the ceiling at upper left, and white draped fabric decorates the walls.

Indoor hall with a plain tiled floor, a brown wooden double door, and a white projection screen on a stand at right. A standing figure in a saffron-orange robe with hands pressed together in anjali stands alone near the screen, facing left toward a group. To the left, a row of about ten men in white ashram clothes with hands folded in namaskar stand together; several wear yellow or white neck cords and one wears a red-and-saffron shawl. A yellow and blue decorated hanging is at upper left and white draped fabric lines the ceiling. A black bag sits on the floor by the group.

A photograph of a hall with a light tiled floor and a wooden double door in the background. In the foreground on the right, a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe and a red-orange shawl stands with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, head bowed, a red tilak on his forehead; the cues are long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a bindi-style mark, but the appearance is not certain enough to confirm an identity, so this is a sannyasi. To the left, several men in white kurtas and dhotis with yellow lanyards stand with hands folded in namaste, one in a red shawl. A projection screen on a stand and a small cooler sit to the right, with a red cloth and offering tray at the lower right edge.

Photograph of an indoor hall with a white tent-like ceiling, hanging colourful cylindrical banners and fluorescent lights. A line of men in white shirts and dark trousers stand with palms joined in namaskar on orange mats at left, one man kneeling in front. A woman in white stands behind them. At right, a figure in a long orange robe with hands joined walks across the polished floor toward a raised stage edged with red curtains, a white podium and a green-draped seat, with a small monitor on a stand. A wooden table draped in orange cloth stands mid-floor.

A photograph of a bare-walled hall with white tiled floor and a wooden door frame. A figure in a long saffron-orange robe and orange lower garment, with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala around the neck, walks forward with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. Several men in white kurtas and white dhotis stand or sit with hands folded at left, one wearing a skullcap. An orange cloth rests on a black speaker, a fan stands nearby, and a projection screen and loudspeaker are at right. The orange-robed figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so the role of devotee or person is used. The scene suggests a satsang or morning session with people greeting each other.

A photograph of an indoor hall under a white tent-like ceiling with hanging colourful cloth pillars and fluorescent lights. Several men in white shirts and dark trousers stand with palms pressed together in namaskar along the left side, some on orange mats. A woman in white stands near the centre. On a raised platform at right, a figure in an orange robe with a long rudraksha mala and a tall stand microphone stands by a white podium in front of red velvet drapes; the figure has long dark hair and is holding an orange cloth, with no clear cues to confirm an identity. A small orange-clad figure walks in the back doorway. Cardboard boxes sit at the lower right corner.
