Indoor photograph of an ashram hall decorated with streamers and paper decorations. A man with long dark hair, seated on a white chair in orange robes and an orange shawl, holds a handheld microphone and sits on a mat, with a wooden staff leaning beside him. Around him, devotees in orange shawls and white clothing sit on white plastic chairs or stand along the walls. A standing man in white dhoti and shirt faces the seated figure while a camera operator films. A young woman in white and a foreign-looking woman in the foreground look on. A fan stands at the left edge.

A stage event before a dark red velvet curtain. A central figure sits in a cream-upholstered chair with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe with a tiger-stripe patterned shawl over the shoulders and a gold-coloured cloth, speaking into a stand microphone; this central figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ornate shawl) and is seated as the speaker. Beside and in front of him are about seven other seated people: on the left an orange-robed person with a saffron head wrap, a man in white with an orange shawl and white dhoti, and a person in orange sari-like wrap; on the right men in white shirts and white dhotis, one with a rudraksha-style mala, holding papers. Scattered flower petals lie on the floor, a green cable runs across the stage, and a fan and framed portrait stand at left.

Five people in saffron-orange clothing sit cross-legged on white mats across a bare concrete floor marked with yellow lines, in a hall with a dark red curtain and a colourful banner on the wall. A man at center-right in orange holds a microphone and speaks, while others listen; a woman in orange sits at right. A man with long hair and a beard sits in the middle, and another man in orange sits at far right near a doorway. A tripod-mounted camera and a black bag sit at right, and white stage scaffolding is visible behind them.

Three men in saffron-orange robes sit on white plastic chairs and a white sofa in a whitewashed hall, each with a microphone. The man on the far right, with long hair tied back, holds a mic near his face and gestures with his hand. The seated man in the centre has a grey beard and long hair and holds a mic, while the younger man on the left reads from paper. A white table with a red clock and water bottles sits behind them, a white pedestal fan stands nearby, and a red-and-white rug lies on the floor. Audience heads are visible at the bottom edge.

Indoor event on a stage hung with dark blue drapes, decorated patterned pillars and red-and-maroon curtains, with a fan and balloons scattered across the platform. A figure in orange robes sits enthroned on an ornate gold and red throne beneath a gold umbrella-shaped canopy, with a microphone stand before him. In front, a group of seated men in white and orange clothing laugh and sing, several holding colourful balloons, while a standing person in white clothes holds a microphone to the left of them. A man in orange robes sits at the far right, and red flower petals and a potted palm lie on the stage and floor.

A man in white clothes and an orange shawl stands at left holding a red-and-green string tied to colourful balloons. Seven women seated on white chairs and a patterned floor rug, wearing white clothes with orange or yellow shawls, hold and handle the balloons in pink, blue, green and red. A few more seated devotees in the foreground also wear white with orange and yellow shawls. Behind them are wooden cabinets, a draped curtain and a decorated pillar with patterned cloth.
