Photograph of a large seated congregation in white clothes filling a hall, facing a raised stage where musicians perform. On the stage a man in a red shirt and others in green and purple clothing play drums, a harmonium-style instrument and other instruments before microphones. Behind them an ornate carved blue-lit stone backdrop with elephant-shaped figures. On the right a brightly lit white deity murti or statue is set against a red curtain. Many devotees sit on red mats, some with hands folded in prayer. A camera operator stands at the right side. The setting suggests a devotional music programme or satsang. Several people are visible in the scene.

A photograph of a large indoor hall where many seated people, mostly men in white kurta-style clothes with orange-red shawls, sit in rows on red and green floor mats. Several figures in the foreground have their backs to the camera. Behind them, a gilded ornate altar or throne stands beside a deity murti, with orange banners and speakers visible along the ceiling. A black backpack rests on the floor at lower right. The gathering appears to be a seated programme or satsang, though no speaker is clearly identifiable among the rows.

A photograph of a seated congregation in white dhotis and shawls, many with shaved heads, viewed from behind in the foreground of a hall. On a raised stage, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes faces the audience in front of an ornate deity shrine decorated with red and white drapery, a golden arched backdrop and a lit altar. Other people in white sit around the stage area, and video cameras on tripods stand at the right edge. The atmosphere suggests a satsang discourse. The saffron-robed figure is shown from a distance and no reliable identity can be established from appearance.
