A seated gathering of men in white shirts and white dhotis sits on striped woven rugs in a large hall with white walls. Many wear lanyards with ID badges and some wear rudraksha or beaded necklaces. Behind them, a row of orange-saffron cloths hangs near the back of the hall, with a few people standing in the background. The men sit cross-legged and attentive, facing forward toward an unseen stage.

A dimly lit hall where a large crowd of men dressed in white shirts and white dhotis sits cross-legged on mats in meditative postures, many with eyes closed. Several wear beaded rudraksha-style necklaces. Among them are men in light grey shirts and checked lungis. Tall metal truss structures and decorative hanging tassels are visible at the top of the frame, with patterned screens on the windows behind. Their hands rest on their laps or are joined in front. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible among the seated participants.

A photograph of a large seated audience at a satsang hall, with many delegates in white and cream clothing wearing lanyard badges, sitting on floor cushions and mats. Several people in the front rows have hands pressed together in anjali mudra or sit in quiet meditation with eyes closed. Warm orange and red drapery forms the backdrop, and a shaft of light falls from the upper right. No speaker is clearly visible in the frame; the focus is on the assembled devotees listening to the talk.

Photograph of a seated meditation gathering on a mat indoors. Dozens of devotees in white ritual clothes sit cross-legged in rows, many wearing rudraksha malas, with eyes closed and hands resting in their laps. Plastic white chairs are stacked along the back of the hall. The front row shows a man in a white shirt and white dhoti sitting with hands folded, and a bearded man in white with glasses and a mala holding his hands together. The ceremony appears to be an energy darshan.

A dim hall shows a seated congregation of men in white shirts and white dhotis sitting cross-legged on striped woven mats. Many wear lanyards with rosette-style badges in green and yellow, and one man in the foreground has red kumkum or vibhuti marks on his forehead. Several people in the background sit on white plastic chairs and a figure in orange and white sits at the far right. Faint framed portraits and a deity image are visible on the wall at the top left, too blurred to identify. The scene appears to be a satsang or programme gathering.

Rows of men sit cross-legged on white mats wearing white shirts and white dhotis, many with rudraksha malas and name badges. Behind them, rows of seated participants fill the hall under hanging banners in red, green and gold, with white lattice scaffolding and a ceiling light. A distant figure in orange appears at the far left. Several hundred people fill the hall, though the image shows only the front portion of the crowd.

A photograph of a seated congregation in a bright hall with pale pink walls and a tiled floor. Rows of men in white kurta-style shirts and white dhotis sit cross-legged on striped mats, many wearing rudraksha or beaded malas and lanyard badges. Behind them, several older Western women and men sit upright on chairs, some in white and red clothing. A woman in a saree sits among them. Along the left edge, a portion of a golden deity shrine is visible. A dark-clothed man with a backpack sits at the front left. The people appear attentive, gathered for a talk or satsang.
