A row of devotees sits cross-legged on a polished white floor, eating a meal from green banana-leaf plates with small paper cups of drink beside each one. Most wear white kurta-style clothing and red-orange scarves, some with rudraksha or red mala beads and bangles. A man in a white shirt and glasses leans forward near the centre, and an older man with grey hair sits in the background near a white staircase.

A group of about a dozen men and one woman sit cross-legged in a circle on a polished cream marble floor in a large hall, eating from metal thalis. Most wear white kurtas or white dhotis with lanyard ID badges; one man in the foreground wears an orange t-shirt and cream trousers, and a woman in a blue top sits at the right edge. Steel tumblers and small bowls sit beside the plates. Behind them, a stage with dark red curtains, rows of chairs, and red-curtained windows line the room, with a few people walking in the background and stacked mats along the wall. No one in the image is clearly identifiable as a specific individual from appearance alone.

A large hall with a white tented ceiling and hanging decorative tassels in red, yellow and blue. Rows of seated devotees sit on the floor on orange-and-white mats before banana-leaf plates with food and small cups. Most men wear white dhotis and some are bare-chested with sacred threads; several women wear orange saris and yellow shawls. Many have hands pressed together in anjali or are seated in quiet prayer. At the far end a gold ornate throne with an orange cushion and a framed portrait stand near a stage with a painted backdrop. A gold-framed armchair sits at the right. Some people stand near the throne area, and a sound speaker is mounted on the upper right.

A seated communal meal on a polished cream tiled hall floor. Devotees in white clothing with red-and-black woven shawls sit in rows eating from steel thali trays holding flatbread, rice, curries and small bowls; one woman in front holds a steel bowl of yellow liquid, and others sip from steel cups. Several have red lanyards. Chrome stanchions and chains edge the aisle, and a man in white walks at the top left.

Long rows of seated men in white dhotis and shawls sit on mats in a large hall, hands pressed together in namaskar before banana-leaf meals laid with food and small cups. At the far end, an ornate gold throne with red cushions stands before a dark red drape, and a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure is displayed nearby. Several people in orange robes and white garments sit or attend near the throne. Colourful woven hangings and orange cloth decorate the white tented ceiling above.

A row of men in white clothes sits cross-legged on a glossy marble floor in a hall, seated before green leaf plates holding food and small white paper cups. Several wear red or orange scarves over white kurtas, and some have orange turbans; one man at left wears an orange turban, a red scarf and an orange lanyard. Others sit with hands folded or resting on their knees. The room has red curtains and walls, and the floor reflects the seated figures. Someone stands in the background at right. The scene looks like a seated meal or satsang gathering.
