A large tented hall with a red carpet and draped white fabric ceiling, hung with many decorative lanterns and colourful umbrellas. Rows of seated devotees, mostly women in saris and salwar kameez, eat from metal thali trays set on the floor and on chairs, many wearing rudraksha malas. A young girl in red and a girl in pink sit among them, and a large screen on the right shows a close view of people in red and pink clothes. The scene resembles a communal meal served during a ritual or satsang gathering.

Hundreds of devotees sit cross-legged on a green mat, mostly in white and pastel saris and white dhotis and shirts, with some in orange, yellow and pink. Near the centre a woman in a white sari with a garland stands gesturing toward the crowd. A long black camera crane arm extends over the audience, and camera tripods stand among them. A wooden stage with a ornate pavilion and framed banners sits at the back.

A large orange-draped tent full of seated devotees during a satsang gathering. Many people in white and orange clothes sit on green and multicoloured mats facing a golden cushioned seat in the foreground. A cameraman with a tripod-mounted camera films the crowd, and monitors on a white table show live video feeds. Orange banners with decorative tassels hang from the tent poles, and a framed portrait of a bearded man hangs at top centre. On the right, a figure in an orange robe with a long beard and an orange shawl sits among others, and a few more people in orange and white stand near the back. The crowd is seated in dense rows extending toward a bright opening at the back of the tent.

A large outdoor satsang under a white tent with red and white draped valances and striped poles. Hundreds of seated devotees fill the ground; many women in colourful saris and men in white kurtas face a long row of tables with banana-leaf-like plates.

A small figure in white stands near the centre-left stage area.

A large crowd of devotees seated on the floor under a white tented pavilion with red-trimmed drapes and hanging lights, at a satsang gathering. Most attendees wear white or pale clothing, with some in yellow, pink, green and orange saris and salwars. Many sit cross-legged in rows facing a raised stage area at the back, where a few people stand near a wooden pavilion structure. A large black boom arm with a camera and a camera on a tripod are visible in the foreground, and a standing fan sits near the front. Several people in the front hold books or papers. No single presiding figure can be clearly distinguished at this distance.

Wide view inside a white tented hall with orange trim, showing a seated audience on white chairs and a green carpet facing a stage. A gold-ornamented backdrop with deity murti sits at the front, flanked by a tall floral arrangement and two TV screens showing a figure in saffron. Audience members include men in white shirts and dhotis, and women in sarees, some in orange and red. Several rows of oscillating fans line the walls, with speakers and a camera on a tripod near the stage. Overall this is a satsang gathering, with visible people mostly seated from behind.

Behind the stage a large backdrop shows a smiling man in an orange turban and saffron robe. Red and orange drapes, gold-framed panels, speakers and cables frame the stage. Ceiling fans and a balcony surround the hall.
