A large dim audience hall viewed from behind a dense silhouetted crowd, facing a brightly lit stage. The stage is decorated with pink and cream drapes, a glowing floral arch with multicolour light strips, and a red-and-white backdrop. Near the stage front, a small figure in white stands beside a red-cushioned seat, with smoke or mist rising around the platform. At stage left a large framed portrait shows a bearded figure in a light turban and dark robe, labelled as a portrait on the stage. A few people are scattered in the foreground, and the crowd fills most of the room.

A large crowd of devotees sits on the floor of a tented hall, dense rows of people in white and orange-toned clothing filling the foreground. Ornamental hanging lights and tassels decorate the tent ceiling. At the far end a stage holds a seated figure before a large deity image, with two screens on either side showing a close view of a figure in red. The hall is dimly lit.

On a raised red-draped stage, a seated figure sits before a large painted deity backdrop, and two screens on either side show a close view of a figure in red and gold clothing. Tent-style ceiling with hanging decorative streamers at the top.

Large photo of a dark, tented hall packed with a dense crowd of seated devotees, mostly dressed in white with some saffron and orange garments, filling the foreground and midground. On a raised red-curtained stage at the far end, a seated figure in red sits before a large backdrop painting of a deity; two side screens show a close-up of a woman in red. Hanging orange and gold tassels and string lights decorate the tent ceiling. Crowd size is too dense to count individually, so the count range is given instead. The seated figure on stage shows no distinctive presentation cues, so identity is left uncertain.

On the stage, a figure sits on a throne before a backdrop showing a deity murti, and two large side screens display a woman in red and white. Hanging orange and yellow decorations and lamps line the tent ceiling. The crowd is dense and extends to the foreground.

A large tent interior filled with a dense crowd of hundreds of seated devotees in white and pale clothing, viewed from the back. Two side video screens show a man in red garments, and a central stage holds a large backdrop depicting a deity murti and a seated figure in red on a raised dais with a small table. Strings of tassels and lanterns hang from the tent ceiling. The crowd is too dense to count individually and is clearly well over one hundred people.

A large tented hall filled with seated devotees, mostly dressed in white, packed shoulder to shoulder on the floor facing a stage at the far end. Strings of colourful hanging decorations and small oil lamps are suspended from the tent ceiling. Two large screens flank a central stage with a red backdrop where a figure sits in the distance, and a shrine-like arrangement is visible at left. The crowd is dense and extends to the foreground, with some people wearing red and orange garlands.

A large white-roofed tent filled with a dense crowd of seated devotees, most in white clothes, some in yellow, facing a stage at the far end. On the stage a central figure sits in front of a red and gold canopy and a lit altar, with a large backdrop screen above showing a large deity image. A camera crane is angled over the audience, and blue, yellow and red draped fabric lines the sides of the tent. Overhead strings of small lights hang under the canopy.

A large indoor hall filled with a dense crowd of seated devotees, most wearing white and dark clothing with white head coverings, viewed from the back of the hall in dim lighting.

Two projection screens hang on the walls and ceiling lights are visible overhead. A few people stand along the side aisles near the walls.
