Wide view from behind a large crowd of seated attendees in white shirts and light blue shirts, filling plastic chairs under a white tent with draped curtains and blue lighting. On the raised stage at the front, a large portrait is displayed on a backdrop beside a gold-framed image and a round colourful target-like board. A figure in orange and saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and ceremonial necklace is seated on the stage, though the image is too small to confirm the identity of the seated figure. The scene suggests a seminar or discourse session in a hall setting.

A wide view inside a white tented hall where a large crowd sits on the floor in white clothes on a long blue carpet runway facing a stage. On the stage, a large white statue of a seated deity murti with a long white garment and beaded necklace is backdropped by blue draping, with a framed portrait on a yellow banner to the left and a concentric target-like circular board on the right. Several staff in white stand near the stage and along the aisles, and a few women in saris sit in the foreground. The scene appears to be a seated programme or discourse with an attentive audience.

The stage has a warm orange and yellow backdrop with a mountain-like painted scene, and a large projection screen stands to its left. Several figures in white stand on the stage. A few people in coloured shirts stand among the seated crowd near the aisles.

A large photograph of a crowded white tent hall during a person Spurana programme in Salem, Tamil Nadu. Hundreds of women sit closely on the floor in rows, mostly in white and cream saris with coloured borders, along with saris in yellow, orange, blue and green. Many wear name badges on lanyards and hold their hands together in prayer or sit with eyes closed. Overhead fans, tent poles and light fixtures line the ceiling, and floral banners hang along the far wall.

At the far end a stage is decorated with pink and orange drapes, floral garlands and a green-and-gold ornamental arch. Several people in white dhotis and white shirts stand on and around the stage, and a few attendants move through the aisles.
