A large hall with a polished pale floor where many people sit in rows on striped mats and cushions, mostly dressed in white with lanyards, facing toward the front. Hanging from the ceiling are tall decorative banners in red, blue, yellow and orange with orange tassels. At the far left a golden deity murti stands on a small altar, and on the right a gilded ornate throne with carved golden figures sits near the seating area. In the foreground a bald man in white clothes and a lanyard sits cross-legged, while a woman in an orange top holds papers. The setting appears to be a satsang or discourse gathering.

At the far right edge, a golden ornate seat or throne stands near a red-draped stand, but no clearly identifiable figure occupies it, so no a person candidate is visible. The audience appears to be listening to a talk.

Colourful tasselled hangings with blue, yellow and red patterns hang from a white draped ceiling, with ceiling fans overhead.

A large indoor hall with pink walls and a row of hanging orange and multicolored decorative pennants along the top. Hundreds of seated devotees fill the orange floor covering, most men in white shirts and white dhotis or trousers, many wearing lanyards and name badges, and some holding white cloth bags printed with a portrait. Several men near the front lean forward attentively, one with his hand to his chin, while a man in a dark striped shirt sits in the lower left foreground. The audience is listening to a discourse, and the front of the hall is not visible, so no speaker or dais is shown.
