A photograph of a large seated audience on a patterned red-and-gold carpet in a hotel ballroom with beige walls, attending a satsang-style session. Many participants wear orange lanyards around their necks; some wear white kurta-style clothes, others wear casual shirts, t-shirts and jeans. A man in a white shirt and white trousers sits cross-legged at left with a hand to his chin, and a bald man in orange cloth sits centre-right. A man in a light blue shirt and a man in a plaid shirt sit near the centre, and a young man in a maroon sleeveless top sits in the foreground at right beside an older man in striped shirt and glasses. No a person is visible in this frame.

A seated audience of devotees in a meditation hall, many performing a hand-to-nose breathing practice with fingers pressed near the face. Foreground men wear white shirts, one in a white shirt with a red lanyard badge and another in a green shirt. Middle rows include boys in white and pink shirts, a man in a white dhoti-style outfit with a head covering, and a man in a white shirt with a folded white cloth on his head. Behind them, a few seated figures sit in white with a saffron-orange shawl on one man, and red curtains and red chairs fill the background, with a green banner at the top. The scene is a group practice session with attendees wearing name badges on lanyards.

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 man in an orange robe sits on the right, and a woman with hair tied back in a brown top sits in the foreground.

A photograph of a large seated audience at a satsang hall, with many delegates in white and cream clothing wearing lanyard badges, sitting on floor cushions and mats. Several people in the front rows have hands pressed together in anjali mudra or sit in quiet meditation with eyes closed. Warm orange and red drapery forms the backdrop, and a shaft of light falls from the upper right. No speaker is clearly visible in the frame; the focus is on the assembled devotees listening to the talk.
