A photograph of a seated circle inside a hotel ballroom with a gold swirl-patterned carpet and cream walls. Several people in the centre sit on chairs, barefoot, wearing white kurta-style clothes with saffron/orange shawls, and one man in a brown shirt sits among them. Around the circle, devotees sit on chairs and floor cushions, many in saffron, orange and white clothing, with women wearing flower hair ornaments and palms pressed together in greeting or applause. A man in a white shirt and saffron shawl at the centre-left sits without an identifiable headdress, and no one in the scene is clearly identified as a specific person from appearance alone.

A large indoor gathering of devotees seated in a circle on the floor and in gold-trimmed chairs in a bright hotel-style hall. A man in the centre wears a white dhoti-style garment with an orange shawl over one shoulder and sits on a low stool, speaking to the group. Many attendees wear orange or saffron shawls, white clothes, and rudraksha-style necklaces; women wear saris and salwar in colours such as pink, green and blue. A small child sits near the centre. Potted plants and a wall with decorative panels are behind the group.

A large indoor hall with a cream tiled floor where a crowd of devotees sits cross-legged in a circle facing a central seated figure on an ornate red-brown throne. The figure wears saffron/orange robes and has a shaved head. Around them, many seated participants wear white kurta-style clothes, while others wear saffron or orange robes and maroon sarees with gold borders. Water bottles sit on the floor, and red chairs and red-cushioned seating line the back wall beside framed banner photos. The setting resembles a satsang or teaching session.

A large seated group of devotees in white clothes and red-maroon shawls sits on white sheets across a hall, facing away from the camera toward an unseen front. Many attendees wear red-orange scarves over white kurtas and dresses. A woman in the foreground wears a pink and white top, and a blonde woman at right wears a beige sweater. Some people sit cross-legged, others on chairs, and a few stand at the back near a dark-red wall with white decorative panels. No central figure or candidate for a person is clearly visible, so the scene reads as a satsang or meditation session.
