A hall with white walls and a tented ceiling hung with orange and patterned banners holds a seated group of students on pink and blue floor mats. Many wear white robes and orange shawls, and several have white headbands. They kneel with hands folded or sit in meditation postures facing a raised dais. Behind them stands a large bronze Nataraja murti within a flame arch, flanked by a standing figure and tall framed portraits of a long-haired figure. Several white plastic chairs line the room, and a fan and a few people in white stand in the background.

In the foreground, a woman in white with an orange shawl sits with hands folded, beside a woman in an orange sari with red blouse and rudraksha mala who sits with hands joined. A woman in a blue sari with gold border sits in the middle row. Small brass oil lamps and bowls stand before them on orange cloths. Red-cushioned chairs line the back wall, with framed deity images on a shelf above and a lone seated man in a white shirt at the far right. No clearly identifiable a person appears in the scene.

A dimly lit stage with a red floor and red backdrop during a satsang. Seated on a striped mat in the foreground, a woman in a white kurta with grey hair sits with her back to the camera, facing a woman in a flowing orange saree with an orange head wrap who sits on a low red cushioned seat and smiles. Behind them, a woman in a dark-red top and a woman in a short-sleeved shirt and a pale pink shawl stand near the backdrop. Two women in white outfits, one wearing a white embroidered kurta, sit cross-legged on the mat to the right, smiling. A woman in a green patterned kurta stands at the back right, hands folded, near a tall pillar draped in orange and patterned fabric. Several figures in orange robes stand at the far left edge.

A group of about fifteen people in white clothes sit on white plastic chairs on a colourful striped woven rug inside a tent-like hall with a white canopy and tall pillars wrapped in orange and black elephant-patterned fabric. On the left, a large black-and-white portrait of a long-haired man in a dark robe with hands clasped is mounted on a stand, and banners with photographs hang along the upper wall. On the right, a white screen-like frame displays a colourful painting. Several attendees face the front, and the room is dimly lit.

A photograph of a seated audience in a pink-walled hall during a satsang-style gathering. Most attendees wear white clothing and rudraksha malas, sitting on striped mats. In the foreground a woman in a yellow dress smiles beside a woman with short blonde hair in white, and an older man in white sits next to a woman in a green sari. Behind them, a golden ornate throne-like chair and deity murti stand near the back, with hanging orange and colourful tassel decorations overhead. The attendees appear to be listening attentively to a discourse.

A photograph of a large hall with a white ceiling and hanging decorative banners with colourful patterned tassels. Rows of seated devotees fill the floor on yellow and green striped mats. Most wear white clothes, while some wear yellow, orange and saffron tones; a few women sit in front in cream and yellow garments and carry handbags. A tripod-mounted video camera stands at the right near the stage area, and a figure in white stands near the front of the hall. No clearly identifiable a person is visible, so the figure at the front is described only by role. Blurred foreground heads and bags fill the lower frame.
