Outdoor beach gathering on pale sand under an overcast sky, with a large crowd of devotees dressed in white clothing and red shawls seated in rows. At the centre, a small ornate shrine or murti stands beneath a tiered orange-and-gold umbrella canopy, with a figure in saffron-orange robes standing nearby and white-clad attendants around it. Several people in white are holding small offerings, and coconuts and fruit sit on the sand in front of the seated devotees. Tall bamboo poles and low pavilion structures frame the background, with trees and buildings beyond.

Outdoor satsang on a sandy beach under a heavy grey storm sky, with moored wooden boats and a distant shoreline behind. A man with long dark hair and a dark-red shawl sits cross-legged on a golden seat at left, and several seated devotees in white clothes and red sashes surround him. A woman in a white robe stands at right, and a man in a rust-orange wrap stands nearby. Golden ceremonial umbrellas with red and orange canopies frame the left edge, and many participants sit on red cloths, with bags and white towels scattered around. Some seated people have red headscarves.

Outdoor satsang on a pebbled riverbank at a Ganga ghat. A seated figure on a raised platform beneath a white and gold ceremonial umbrella, wearing orange and saffron robes, appears to address the gathering; a person cue is not clearly established here, as the figure's appearance is not distinct enough to confirm. Around him sit a large crowd of devotees on mats and blankets, many in white kurtas and saffron or red shawls, some with orange garments, others in loose white clothing with long hair. A trident stands to the left, a loudspeaker on a stand at the right, and steps, trees and a small pavilion lie beyond the river.

A beach gathering under a heavy grey sky, with a seated group on sand in front of moored wooden boats and a low coastline. On the left, a man in orange-red robes sits cross-legged near orange parasols and a gilded seat, with a mala-like garland visible; the figure's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm an identity. Around him, many women in white clothes with red shawls sit close together, and a few wear red or yellow saris. A woman in a blue top and another in white sit near a small child on the right. Scattered bags, slippers and red cloths lie on the sand. Roles are devotees and attendees at a beach satsang or padapuja-style sitting.

Photograph of a large group gathered on an open upper deck of a white cruise ship under a cloudy sky. Dozens of seated devotees wear white clothing with red sashes and red shawls, sitting in rows on deck chairs and cushions facing forward. At the front, a small ornate canopy in red and gold stands over a central seated figure in orange robes, with a smaller seated attendant nearby and a standing person in white beside them. Ship railings, a radar dome and antennas are visible behind the crowd.

A large outdoor gathering of devotees seated on a sandy beach under a heavy grey overcast sky, with moored wooden boats and the sea behind them. Most people wear white clothing with red shawls or sashes, and many wear red garlands. Several women in the foreground hold coconuts. Two women at the front-right wear blue and turquoise traditional dress, and a few people stand under umbrellas on the left and right. Tall white poles stand at the left edge of the frame, and at the back a figure in orange robes stands near the crowd.

Outdoor evening gathering on a grassy beach area near palm trees and a lit resort building. A tall silver trident stands upright in the grass. A man in a red-and-maroon turban and maroon robe with a red shawl and beaded necklace sits centrally, facing a ring of seated devotees. Around him, a man in white with a bald head and red-orange cloth, a cameraman with a video camera, and several seated people in white, pink saris and green and orange garments surround him. Some women wear orange flowers in their hair. The person in the centre matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of a red turban, red shawl and beaded necklace, and sits in an attentive satsang-style circle.
