A large outdoor tent congregation seated on green mats during a satsang. In the foreground, a man in orange robes with a beaded necklace sits at left beside several men in white dhotis and shawls with rudraksha malas and forehead markings. Behind them rows of seated devotees, including women in saris and shawls, fill the space. A camera on a tripod and a standing man in white are visible at the top left, and a large banner hangs at the back of the tent. No one is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance here, so the figure's role is described only as a devotee-attended satsang.

A large seated congregation in a warmly lit hall, many participants in white dhotis and kurta-style clothes with red-orange shawls draped over their shoulders. Most sit cross-legged on mats with palms pressed together in namaskar or hands folded in prayer, eyes closed or lowered. Several wear rudraksha malas and some hold small brass plates or ritual items. A young boy in a red shawl sits in front, and a man at lower right holds up a small silver ritual vessel. A projection screen glows at the back of the room. Attendees appear absorbed in satsang or prayer.

In the foreground, several men with shaved heads wear white dhotis with red-and-gold striped borders and white upper cloths, sit with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, eyes closed. Brass lamps and small offering plates with flowers and fruit sit on the floor before them, with lit oil lamps and a small ritual setup visible. Behind them, more seated devotees in white and colourful clothing, some with hands folded, fill the room, and a woman in a blue dress sits among them. There is no clearly identifiable a person figure in this view.

A large seated congregation of devotees in white dhotis and kurtas with red shawls sits in prayer inside a hall. Several men in the front row, one with a tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala, have their palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them, women in white and red shawls, and a woman with long blonde hair in white, join in the gathering. Pale yellow and white vibhuti or tilak marks are visible on several foreheads. The setting resembles a satsang or puja with many participants sitting closely on a carpeted floor.

A large group of shaved-headed men in white dhotis and white shawls sit closely together on a floor during a ritual, many with white vertical tilak markings on their foreheads and rudraksha malas around their necks. Several have hands pressed together in prayer or hold small ritual objects, while one man at the lower left covers his face with his palms. Behind them, orange cloth hangs from above and a metal railing and more seated participants fill the background, with a few small oil lamps visible on the floor.

A large seated congregation fills a hall at a Nithya Dhyana Yoga session. Men in white dhotis and shirts wear red and orange shawls and red beaded garlands, with a few holding folded hands in prayer. Several have white and red tilak marks on their foreheads, and some wear name badges on their garlands. Rows of seated devotees stretch back toward the far wall, and the ashram setting suggests satsang or meditation. The image is a photograph of an audience; no speaker or a person is clearly visible in the frame.

A large crowd sits on green mats inside an orange tent at a Kumbh Mela camp, many with palms pressed together in namaskar.

Several men wear red waist cloths and rudraksha-style necklaces, and some have white tilak marks on their foreheads. Behind them, saffron-robed sadhus and a seated figure in orange clothing are visible. A cameraman stands at the back, and printed banners hang on the tent walls. Their poses suggest satsang or puja in the camp.
