A seated satsang audience of devotees in white dhotis and saffron-and-white shawls, many wearing rudraksha malas. A man in front centre, with white hair and a white tilak, wears a gold pendant and rudraksha beads. Others on the left and right raise hands in gesture, and some sit with eyes closed. A young man on the right has a tilak on his forehead. The setting is a crowded hall with patterned mats. No a person candidate is clearly visible; the speaker is not in frame.

A large seated gathering of men on a red floor covering at an outdoor satsang. Most wear white dhotis and white sleeveless or collared shirts, several with orange-gold borders on the cloth. Foreground: a man in a white shirt with a grey moustache looks off to the side; behind him a man in a white dhoti with an orange border holds an orange cloth, and a bare-chested man with a rudraksha-style necklace sits with his hands folded. Right: a man with a sacred ash/kumkum forehead mark and a dark bead necklace sits cross-legged. Several attendees wear name badges on their clothing. Paper notebooks and a dark bag rest on the floor. Many people are visible in the background, and a yellow bollard edges the frame. No clear a person candidate is identifiable from appearance.

Behind them rows of attendees sit closely, some with badges pinned to their clothing. Yellow pillars and a wall are visible in the background.

A photograph of a seated satsang audience indoors before yellow curtains, with a hanging decorative lantern at top. In the foreground, a young man in white dhoti with gold border, rudraksha mala and red sacred thread sits cross-legged. Beside him, a man with white tilak paste on his forehead sits with arms resting on his knees. Further right, a bald man in saffron-orange robes, a beaded mala and shawl sits on a chair; the appearance suggests a person seated among guests, though this is uncertain. Next to him, a man in white shirt sits with hands clasped. On the floor lie a small brass lamp, a red cloth, a mobile phone and a blue yoga mat. Several other seated attendees in white and pastel shirts fill the background.

Several men in white dhotis with gold borders sit cross-legged on a polished floor during a puja. In the foreground, a man with folded hands and rudraksha malas sits with eyes closed. Near the centre, a man with white tilak and rudraksha mala holds an object while chanting; brass plates, small cups, flowers and a lit oil lamp rest on a green cloth and orange mats. Behind them, more white-clad devotees and a few onlookers in white and red sit in a yellow-walled hall. No figure here is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so the role is described only as priests and devotees.

A photograph of a seated group of devotees in white ritual dhotis and shawls with red border stripes during a satsang-style ceremony. In the foreground a man with a shaved head and a red-and-white tilak sits cross-legged with hands folded, holding a rudraksha mala, eyes closed. Behind him several young men with shaved heads and white garments sit with palms pressed together in prayer, with brass puja plates and small oil lamps on the mat before them. Behind the rows, a crowd of seated people in white and saffron-toned clothing fills the hall beyond a metal railing, with orange drapes hanging from the upper right. The mat floor and brass lamps suggest a puja or meditation session.
