A photograph of a seated group in a hall with red floor mats and red chairs at the back. In the foreground, men in white shirts and white dhotis sit cross-legged, many wearing rudraksha malas; one man in front holds a small book and another has a hand to his face. A younger man in an orange t-shirt and dark trousers sits at right with an ID lanyard. Behind them, women in white, cream and pink saris sit on chairs and mats. Orange cushions lie on the floor and a golden statue appears at the top. No figure with distinctive a person cues is shown, so no candidate is identified.

A seated audience fills a hall at a Conquering Time programme. Rows of men sit cross-legged on red floor mats, many in white shirts and dhotis, one in yellow and several in green polo shirts, with name badges on their chests. Some wear rudraksha malas and one has white vibhuti tripundra marks on his forehead. A few women in saris sit toward the back. Some attendees hold yellow cloth or notebooks, and a man in a red shirt sits in the lower right foreground. Their attention is directed toward the front of the room, out of frame. The room has white walls, framed pictures and wooden shutters. Roughly thirty to forty people are visible.

A large hall filled with seated devotees on red mats during a satsang. Most men wear white shirts and white dhotis or trousers, with ID lanyards around their necks, and several wear striped or patterned shirts. Many sit cross-legged with eyes forward, attentive to a distant stage at the far end of the room where a figure in orange robes stands near a golden ornate backdrop. Pink walls, red curtains and ceiling fans frame the space, and a few water bottles and bags lie on the floor. A large crowd fills the foreground and midground rows.

A seated audience at a meditation program sits on white floor mats with red cushions in a hall with red drapes and a wall-mounted speaker. In the foreground a man in a striped short-sleeved shirt and grey trousers looks upward, beside a boy in a striped shirt with his hand near his mouth, and a bearded young man in a white kurta with glasses sits with hands folded. Other attendees in white and pastel clothes sit behind them, several wearing headphones. Some visible name badges hang from attendees' necks. No speaker is visible in the frame.

A seated congregation of men fills a hall with a polished pale floor and red curtains behind them, many sitting on thin striped mats in white kurtas and dhotis. Several in the front row sit with palms pressed together in anjali, eyes closed or lowered, in a satsang or meditation gathering. Some wear lanyard badges around their necks. A man in a navy shirt and a man in a checked shirt sit at the right edge, and a water bottle rests on the floor in front. The page indicates a person was present, but no visible figure shows the appearance cues needed to identify him, so none is named.
