Long rows of seated devotees in white and saffron-orange clothing fill a polished white marble hall during a satsang. Many wear orange and red shawls, and small oil lamps line the floor between the two rows. At the far end, a colourful shrine with painted deity murti stands behind a central throne with a seated figure in orange. A few people in white stand near the edges and a screen hangs on the right wall. No one can be reliably identified as a person from appearance, so the central figure is described by role only.

A seated meal in a large hall with white marble floor. Rows of monks and nuns in saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged on both sides, each before a banana-leaf plate of food with paper cups of water. In the centre, two people in plain white clothing sit facing a central figure on a golden throne-like seat, backed by a red and gold shrine with standing deity figures and a framed portrait. A figure in orange sits near the throne. Brass lamps and offerings are visible, along with a stage area and several people standing at the edges. The scene suggests a communal food offering in a temple hall.

Wide view of a large hall during a group ritual meal or puja, with rows of seated participants in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls, many with orange turbans and rudraksha malas, sitting cross-legged on mats before green leaf plates laden with food and small brass cups. Several in the foreground have hands folded in anjali. At the far end, a man in white stands near a decorated stage with a deity backdrop and flower arrangement. Two large screens display a woman in red and white, and an oil lamp burns at the lower right. Ceiling lanterns and a chandelier hang overhead, and white-clad devotees sit toward the right.

A large hall with a long blue floor covering where rows of seated people face a raised golden throne-like seat at the far end, beneath a red curtain and framed by potted plants. Along the rows, saffron-robed participants sit with rudraksha malas and marigold garlands, with small plates of food and water bottles set before them. On the left, several young boys in saffron cloths and garlands sit in a line, and a few white-clad men in white dhotis with red shawls sit nearer the camera. A seated figure in a saffron-coloured robe is positioned on the golden seat, with a white-clad attendant beside it. Several women in white and red shawls and saris also sit in the foreground, and a projector screen is mounted on the right wall. The setting suggests a seated group ritual meal or satsang in a formal hall, with a person indicated only by the saffron robe and rudraksha cues on the figure seated on the central throne.

A long hall with a tiled ceiling and framed photographs on the walls shows a seated communal meal. Rows of people in orange robes and rudraksha malas sit cross-legged on the floor before green banana-leaf plates heaped with food, with water bottles and small cups along the leaves. In the centre, a bare-chested man in white sits on a red mat near a brass bell and lamp, and a few figures in white stand near a golden decorated throne-like structure at the far end. Many more people are seated at the far end, with additional people walking about the hall.

Photograph of a hall with a red-curtained stage where a seated figure in saffron is at a shrine area. Rows of young men in orange-red dhotis and matching orange shawls with reddish headcloths sit cross-legged on the floor facing the stage. In front of them are green banana-leaf plates with food and small brass cups. On the left, a large screen shows a figure, and cameramen with equipment film the scene. Behind the stage, a deity murti and decorated backdrop are visible. Several people in white are seated at the far right, and a lamp burns near the front row.
