A seated audience in white clothes fills the foreground of an indoor hall with a dark maroon curtain stage behind. On the stage, a figure in orange robes sits centrally, with another person in white seated to one side and a standing man in white at right. Along the left wall, a woman in orange sits on a white chair beside framed portraits and a fan. Yellow and multicoloured decorative hangings line the top of the stage, and a camera operator with equipment stands at right. Several framed portraits show a bearded figure in white and a woman in red.

A large tent-covered hall with a red-and-yellow striped floor mat where a seated group of devotees listens to a speaker on a raised dais. Many attendees sit cross-legged on mats, some on white plastic chairs in the foreground; several wear white clothes while others wear orange robes. A cameraman in orange stands at right behind a tripod-mounted camera, and colourful hanging tassel decorations line the ceiling. A figure in orange sits on a green-draped seat at the front, with a maroon curtain stage behind.

A hall with white walls, a corrugated metal roof and a row of orange-and-white striped curtains hung with long bamboo-like staffs. On a raised red stage, a person in an orange robe sits holding a yellow sheet, behind a small table with a microphone. A large framed portrait of a seated figure in orange hangs on the back wall beside a small altar with flowers. A camera on a tripod films the proceedings. Thirty or more seated attendees in white clothes and orange shawls sit cross-legged on mats facing the stage, listening attentively.

A figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe and a red-and-pink flower garland, sits on a white cushioned chair speaking with a raised hand. Two standing men in white clothing with orange shawls stand at the left of the stage. Many seated devotees in white clothes face the stage, some wearing white shirts printed with Dhyanapeetam logos.

A figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a white cushioned seat at the front of the stage beside a fan and a green-and-red patterned backdrop, apparently giving a talk. Most of the audience sits cross-legged on striped red and blue mats, many in white clothes, some in orange, with a bald man in white in the front foreground.

Wide view of a hall with a maroon velvet curtain and gold-trimmed valance behind a stage. A figure in orange and dark patterned clothing sits on a large orange cushioned throne with ornate dark trim, flanked by a small flower arrangement. Seated rows of devotees in white dhotis and white garments with yellow shawls face the stage on a light floor, with some in orange robes near the front. A video camera on a tripod in the foreground records the gathering, and a ceiling fan and framed portrait are visible at the edges. a person is seated on the throne; the figure's cues are an orange robe and a seated position on the throne, and the identification is uncertain.

A seated audience of ashramites in an indoor hall faces a raised stage at a satsang. On the stage, a figure in orange and red robes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne beneath a small canopy, with flower garlands and a tall cloth banner behind. Most of the audience sits cross-legged on colourful striped rugs in white, cream and orange clothing with orange shawls; several seated devotees on orange-covered chairs at left wear headphones. A cameraperson in white with an orange shawl films from the left edge. A wall sign reads a no-photos-allowed notice. The centre figure on the throne is a probable Swamiji (probable), seated in orange robes with long swept-back hair and a gold ceremonial setting, and the speaker role fits the discourse.
