A photograph of a satsang hall with a white marble floor and pink walls, where devotees sit on striped mats in white ritual clothing. In the centre, a bald man in a white shirt and white dhoti kneels with hands folded in prayer, facing forward. Around him, many seated devotees in white garments, some wearing rudraksha malas, sit in meditation or prayer. Behind them stand an ornate gold throne-like seat and a deity murti decorated with garlands, with orange and red curtains and banners at the top. The image shows a group meditation or satsang gathering.

A bald man in an all-white kurta and dhoti kneels at centre, hands folded, while others sit meditating with eyes closed. Behind them stands an ornate golden throne-like seat decorated with a garland. A long rudraksha-style mala is visible on several participants. Curtains in orange and red frame the windows.

A seated group of devotees, mostly men in white clothes, sit in rows on striped red-and-blue floor mats in a hall with pink walls and orange hanging decorations. At the front, a golden throne-like seat and deity murti stand beside colourful figures, and a central figure sits on a raised seat facing the gathering. Water bottles and backpacks rest on the floor, and a large screen hangs at the right. The setting suggests a satsang discourse session.

A rudraksha mala is visible on one man's chest. Along the back, a golden decorated deity murti and a golden ornate peetha or throne are set against the wall. Water bottles and a black backpack sit on the floor. Several people have eyes closed.

A photograph of a meditation or satsang session in a bright pink-walled hall with white curtains and red chairs along the back. Devotees sit cross-legged on red-and-white striped mats, most in white ritual clothes. A man in front center wears a white kurta with a dark bead necklace, and a young man at right wears a white shirt with an orange dhoti, sitting with hands folded and eyes closed. A woman in a yellow-and-gold sari sits at the back right. No a person candidate is clearly visible, and the page's mention of a talk is not shown in this frame, so the scene shows only seated devotees meditating with heads tilted up. A blue backpack rests on the floor at lower left.

A photograph of a large hall where many devotees sit cross-legged on striped mats in meditation, eyes closed, hands resting on their knees or laps. Most wear white kurtas or white shirts and trousers; a man in the foreground centre has a bald head and a white shirt, and a bearded man at left wears a white t-shirt. A woman in a pale pink sleeveless top and teal trousers sits near the left, and a man in a teal shirt sits to the right. Behind them, golden statues and a deity murti stand on a raised altar, with red chairs lining the far wall. No candidate for a person is visible among those seated, so the scene shows a satsang or meditation session with devotees.
