In the foreground a man with grey-streaked hair wears a checked shirt, and another man in a peach shirt sits on a chair. Many attendees sit facing a small stage at the far end, where a man in white stands near a lectern. Behind the stage a framed banner and a deity picture hang on a dark wall. Ceiling lights and fans are visible. Several women in saris sit on the carpet to the right.2008-09-07A large seated audience of devotees sits on yellow mats and cushions on a hall floor, watching a stage at the right. A white-clad woman in the centre background and a woman in orange sit near a raised dais. On the stage a white statue of a robed figure with orange garments and a saffron-coloured shawl stands beside a potted plant and flower arrangement, while a saffron banner hangs above with a dark mountain backdrop. Many attendees wear white, red, blue and striped clothing, and a man in a white shirt sits in the foreground. White plastic chairs line the rear of the hall beneath brick-patterned windows, with a purple bird emblem on the wall. The scene suggests a discourse or darshan session.2008-03-13October 27 20082008-10-27A crowded indoor satsang room with cream walls, where a large group of devotees sits on the floor facing right toward a man in saffron robes seated on an ornate wooden couch with gold cushions. The seated figure wears an orange turban, orange robes and a long gold-toned necklace; he appears to be a probable Swamiji by his orange turban and ornate saffron clothing, and is seated in a relaxed, attentive pose. Devotees wear white kurtas and sarees, one man in a pink shirt and another in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala. A woman in a white sari and a woman in a teal-and-pink salwar sit near the front, and a woman in a red sari stands at the back near framed religious pictures, a vase of red flowers and a bowl of roses. Several people sit with hands folded in prayer, and a white fur rug lies on the carpet near the couch.2007-09-03August 11 20082008-08-11A long covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and white walls holds a seated congregation facing a blue draped curtain at the far end. Many people sit on mats in rows: men in white dhotis and shirts, some with orange shawls, and women in white, cream and yellow saris, with a woman in a teal and blue sari in the right foreground. Framed photographs hang along the side walls, and a plain concrete floor stretches toward the stage area.2008-10-27November 29 20132013-11-29 +1 copiesOctober 21 20062006-10-21 +1 copiesA photograph of a meditation or satsang session in a bare, whitewashed hall with barred windows and yellow curtains.

Most seated people wear white clothing: men in white kurtas and dhotis, women in white saris with gold borders, and one woman in a bright yellow and red sari. Plastic chairs and tables line the back wall. Eight to ten people are visible.2007-01-01Indoor satsang in a hall with bamboo-lattice windows and bamboo posts. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits before a decorated backdrop framed with garlands and white flower strands, facing a large seated gathering. Devotees sit cross-legged on red and woven mats; many wear white, others pale blue, pink and floral saris, and women wear braids and flowers in their hair. Some potted plants stand at the edges and a microphone stand is near the front. The front figure's saffron robe and seated position in the central place of honour are visible, but the face is not clearly discernible, so identity is uncertain.
