A large seated group of devotees fills a bright hall, many sitting cross-legged with eyes closed in meditation or satsang. Most wear white dhotis and shawls or saffron-orange cloths and rudraksha malas. In the front centre, a man in an orange-and-red patterned kurta with a red shawl sits with eyes closed, a red tilak on his forehead. Two men in saffron robes sit in the foreground, one with his hands folded, another with a shaved head. Water bottles and a bag rest on the floor. Several children in orange and white sit among the adults.

A seated group of devotees in a hall with white tiled floor, many wearing saffron and orange robes with gold borders and rudraksha malas, some with white and red forehead markings. In the foreground a shaved-headed man in a rust-red shawl and rudraksha mala sits upright, while a man in white dhoti and shawl with gold borders sits cross-legged with hands in mudra, and another in white with a notebook and pen takes notes. Behind them rows of younger participants in orange, white and saffron sit attentively.

Indoor photo of a seated group of men and boys in white dhotis and shawls with gold borders at a ritual or satsang gathering. Several men wear rudraksha malas; the front-right man, bare-chested with a shaved head and a small tilak, sits cross-armed beside boys in striped shirts. Chairs behind hold more men in white, and a red curtain hangs at left. The page places this at a 2011 event listed under Pratyaksha-Pada-Pooja, Bhagavad-Gita-Satsang and Rudra-Homa, but no ritual fire or deity is visible, so no specific rite is shown.

Large indoor gathering of men seated cross-legged on mats across a tiled hall, many dressed in white dhotis and shirts with red-orange or saffron shawls and rudraksha malas around their necks, several with white vibhuti marks on their foreheads and arms. In the foreground a bald man in an orange-red robe with a beaded mala sits upright, and to his right a man in white with a red-orange garland smiles beside others holding folded hands. Background rows continue toward the back wall, and a few people stand near a doorway. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so the scene reads as a satsang-style seated assembly of devotees and priests.
