A large night gathering of seated devotees on blue and orange mats outdoors, viewed from the side. Women in white and cream cotton saris with yellow or gold borders and orange shawls sit in the foreground, several with hands folded or resting on their faces. Behind them rows of men and women in white kurtas and white clothing fill the audience area under bright stage lights. At the right edge a drummer in a red garment sits beside a drum. No a person candidate is clearly visible in this crowd view, and there is no visible figure on stage. The scene is a satsang-style audience at night with a stage and tents in the background.

A nighttime outdoor gathering of a large crowd seated on green mats on open ground, most dressed in white with some in colourful saris, shawls and salwar. Many wear red and white rudraksha or bead malas and some have sandalwood or kumkum on their foreheads. Dark sky with scattered lights in the background suggests a satsang or discourse audience. No stage figure or speaker is clearly visible in the frame, so no candidate for a person can be identified.

Night outdoor satsang audience seated in white plastic chairs on a green carpeted platform, many clapping. Foreground women wear white and gold-bordered sarees, some with yellow or orange shawls and mangalsutra-style pendants; a woman in an orange-red saree and a woman in purple stand among them, and a young child in a blue outfit sits on a lap. Behind them rows of seated men in white shirts and kurtas fill the stands, with a metal railing and orange-and-white canopy poles and lights overhead. Crowd stretches far back toward the stage. No clearly visible presenter is shown in this frame.

A large seated congregation of women fills the frame, most dressed in white saris with gold borders and many wearing orange or rust-coloured shawls and rudraksha malas. Many have white vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads and some wear white headbands. Several in the front rows sit with hands folded in anjali mudra, while others sit with palms pressed together in devotion. A few wear name badges on their clothing. The setting is a crowded hall with more people visible behind them, and a striped mat lies in the lower right corner.

Many devotees in white and saffron-orange clothing sit cross-legged on white and green mats, many with hands pressed in anjali or clapping. Some wear rudraksha malas and marigold garlands. In the right foreground, a low orange-draped platform holds bananas wrapped in banana leaves, an orange sari, and brass offering plates. Strings of lights and palm trees frame the open ground. A man in orange robes sits at the far right edge near the front, while several people in the crowd hold cameras. Faces and expressions are not described beyond posture and gesture.

Night-time outdoor satsang with a very large crowd seated on white plastic chairs across an open ground lit by bright floodlights. Most attendees are women in saris and shawls in colours including yellow, orange, green, blue, lavender and white, some with heads covered. In the background stands a long tented stage area with banners and bunting, flanked by trees and strings of flags. No speaker or a person candidate is clearly visible in the frame, so the stage figure cannot be confirmed.

A large seated crowd of devotees fills a green-carpeted hall during a yoga or meditation session. Most attendees wear white or cream clothes, with some in pink, blue and orange saris; several women have long braids and wear rudraksha malas, and many have hands pressed together in namaste. At the upper left, a pink banner portrait stands on an easel beside a white-clad figure seated near the front, and a cameraman in white stands at right near the stage area. The scene is full of people, with rows extending toward the back, and a red and white canopy frames the top of the room.

A night-time outdoor gathering of a very large crowd, mostly women seated on the ground in rows, many in white saris with coloured borders, some in orange, red, purple and green. Bamboo fencing separates the seating area from a raised stage at the back, lit by bright floodlights on poles. A lone figure in white clothing stands near the fence line in the centre background, and other people in white stand along the far stage area. Some seated women wear white head coverings and hold small bags. The scene looks like a satsang or discourse audience listening attentively.
