A seated congregation fills a hall with pale yellow walls and a tiled floor, mostly women in white saris with gold borders and rudraksha malas, plus a few in orange, red and maroon saris. In the front row a woman in an orange sari sits with hands on her lap, and a woman in a red blouse presses her palms together in prayer. Men in white shirts and dhotis sit at the back right. Silver stanchions run along the right edge, and painted pillars with geometric motifs frame the upper left.

A photo of a seated congregation during a satsang in a hall with yellow walls and tall windows. Rows of women sit on red and white striped mats behind silver barrier posts linked by chains. Many wear white or cream saris, while others wear teal, yellow, maroon and green. Several have hands pressed together in prayer, and some hold small items. Chairs line the back of the hall. The shrine and speaker are not visible, so no a person candidate can be confirmed in the frame.

A large seated audience of women fills the frame at a satsang, viewed from the front with grey metal crowd-control barriers between rows. Most wear white or cream saris and salwar kameez with pink, maroon, orange, green and purple borders, plus gold necklaces, bangles, bindis and spectacles. Many have hands folded or rest quietly, with faces attentive and serious. No speaker or dais is clearly visible, and no a person candidate can be identified in the image.

A dense crowd of devotees sits on the floor of a stone temple hall with carved pink-grey granite pillars, one carved with floral and geometric motifs in the foreground. A woman at left in an orange-red sari with a white garland and folded palms sits near the front, and many women in white and orange-red saris with kumkum bindis sit and stand with palms joined in prayer. Men in white dhotis and shirts and several in orange-red stand in the background among orange and green festoons hung from the pillars. A woman at lower centre in a yellow-green sari speaks while gesturing, and a green cloth bundle lies at left. The scene suggests a satsang or temple gathering, with no visible deity or a person figure clearly identified.

A large seated congregation fills a bright hall with polished floor, devotees sitting on mats and striped cloth in rows separated by silver stanchions and chains.

A woman in foreground with glasses wears a red bindi. Others wear green, yellow and red garments. Seated devotees appear attentive to a teacher out of frame at the front, in a satsang-style gathering. A yellow and orange hanging decorates the upper right corner.

A large indoor hall filled with many seated women devotees, most in white, cream or yellow sarees with gold necklaces and bindis, many with eyes closed as if meditating or chanting. Ceremonial hanging cloths in red, yellow and blue decorate the upper walls, and a stage truss is visible at left. No single presenter is clearly identifiable, and no one is identified as a person in this crowd scene.

A wide photograph of a large seated satsang audience inside a pale hall with cream walls, a tiled floor, and striped mats in rows. Many people sit cross-legged or kneeling, most in white or cream clothing, with some in orange shawls, pink and red saris, and bright salwar kameez. Several women in front have their palms pressed together in greeting or devotion, and a few smile broadly. Thin metal stanchions with chains divide the seating area. Colourful woven hangings in red, blue and yellow hang on the right wall, and a plate of fruit sits on a mat near the front. No speaker is clearly visible in this view.
