Wide photograph of a satsang hall with a white marble floor. Rows of seated devotees in orange and saffron robes face each other across a central aisle, many with palms joined in greeting, and small plates with cups and flowers lie before them. At the centre front, a single figure in a saffron robe sits on a mat before a raised orange stage with a framed portrait of a saffron-clad figure and a portrait on the golden throne-like seat. A screen and monitor sit beside the seat. Striped decorative pillars with orange tassels hang from white draping overhead. Many people are visible, roughly 40 to 60.

A photograph of a large hall with pink walls and a tiled white floor, where rows of seated people in orange robes face a central raised platform. The platform holds a golden throne-like seat with a golden peetha backdrop and umbrellas, and a seated figure in white. Two large screens on either side show a bearded man with long hair and rudraksha malas, apparently a depiction. Several people in white clothing sit near the platform, and rows of orange-robed monastics sit on striped mats with banana-leaf offerings laid along the aisles, consistent with a puja. Framed photographs line the walls, and food serving stations stand along the left and right edges.

Wide view of a large hall during a group ritual meal or puja, with rows of seated participants in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls, many with orange turbans and rudraksha malas, sitting cross-legged on mats before green leaf plates laden with food and small brass cups. Several in the foreground have hands folded in anjali. At the far end, a man in white stands near a decorated stage with a deity backdrop and flower arrangement. Two large screens display a woman in red and white, and an oil lamp burns at the lower right. Ceiling lanterns and a chandelier hang overhead, and white-clad devotees sit toward the right.

Rows of devotees in white clothes with orange shawls sit on leaf-plate mats on the floor, with brass kalasha-style vessels and small steel cups set along the mats. Tall bamboo poles with orange pennants stand between the rows. At the far end, a man in orange robes and a beaded necklace sits in front of a framed portrait and a brass lamp; a banner on the wall shows a red-robed figure. A woman in peach clothes is at the left edge, and a few other participants in orange sit along the right. Visible people: about 25.

A photograph of a large hall where many people sit in rows on the floor on mats, eating from banana-leaf plates with small oil lamps and cups before them. Most seated people wear saffron-orange garments, while others wear white dhotis with orange or red borders, and several women wear white saris. Along the stage a figure in orange sits on an ornate gold-and-cream chair before a dark red curtain, while a standing attendant in white dress stands nearby. Tall decorative pillars with colourful woven bands and tassels flank the hall, and portrait photographs hang on the left wall beside a projector screen.
