A large seated congregation of devotees in a temple hall performs a devotional sitting practice with palms pressed together in namaste. Many men, most bare-chested, wear white dhotis, rudraksha malas and horizontal white vibhuti marks on their foreheads and arms; some wear orange or red shawls. Women in white and yellow saris sit in the background among tall yellow-tipped wooden staffs and small oil lamps glowing on the floor. No a person candidate is clearly visible, as all figures are seated devotees in similar white ritual clothing.

A seated group of devotees with palms pressed together in anjali mudra during a satsang-style gathering on striped mats. In the foreground, a young man in white dhoti with gold-bordered yellow shawl and white forehead markings sits beside a man in a saffron/orange robe with rudraksha mala and white tripundra, both praying. Behind them, rows of men in white clothes with orange sashes and rudraksha malas kneel or sit, and a brass oil lamp and small offering sit on the mat in front. A black bag and a blue audio/equipment stand appear at the back.

A large seated gathering of men and boys, many shirtless, sits in closed-eye meditation on the floor. Most wear white dhotis and sacred threads, have white vibhuti or sandalwood-paste markings on forehead and chest, and wear rudraksha malas and small gold-toned pendants. One man in the foreground with a beard, dark dhoti tied at the waist and black mala closes his eyes, while a younger man at center in a white thread wears a pendant and rests hands on his knees. At right a boy in front of a pink-and-green mat sits with eyes closed. A person at far left holds palms together in anjali mudra. Dense rows of participants fill the background.

A large crowd of devotees sits closely packed in an indoor hall, most dressed in white shirts and white clothing with orange lanyards and ID badges. Many have white vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads. In the centre, a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and orange-trimmed lanyard sits with palms pressed together in anjali, and a man with glasses and a moustache beside him also holds hands joined. Several boys in maroon tops sit in the foreground. Many people have their eyes closed or heads bowed in prayer. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible.

A large seated gathering of devotees in an indoor hall during a satsang. In the foreground, several men sit cross-legged on orange mats wearing white dhotis with gold borders and white shirts, many with rudraksha malas and sandalwood tilaks; the man at center has hands folded in anjali, and another at left is eyes-closed in meditation. Behind them, rows of seated devotees and younger boys in white and maroon fill the room, with a microphone stand at right. Some people in the background wear white shirts. No figure is clearly identifiable as the presenter from appearance alone, and the seated mass suggests a sizable audience.
