A dim evening photograph of a seated congregation under a corrugated metal roof at an open hall. Men in white dhotis and shirts, pastel and checked shirts, and one bright red shirt sit on white concrete ledges and the floor, several with eyes closed. A row of men stands and sits along a raised platform at the back, one standing man in white kurta and dhoti stands at centre with hands folded. Fluorescent tube lights and a string of white flowers hang overhead, with dark foliage behind the platform.

Photograph of a satsang gathering under a corrugated metal roof lit by fluorescent tube lights. Many seated devotees in white shirts and dhotis or trousers fill the foreground, sitting along white-walled tiered platforms. Several men sit on the upper ledge at right, one in a blue shirt and another in a checked shirt. Two men in white kurtas stand at left, and a standing man in white is at center. Attendees appear focused on the proceedings, and a few people wear plain shirts and light-coloured clothing throughout.

Night photo, taken from above, of a large crowd of men in white dhotis and white shirts kneeling and bowing forward with their heads down on a concrete floor, in what appears to be a devotional gathering. Some men in checked shirts and casual clothes stand or crouch along the raised wall and ledge at the top of the frame, watching. Fluorescent tube lights run along the ceiling and walls, and a corrugated metal roof edge is visible at upper left. No one is clearly identifiable as a person in this view.

A crowded indoor satsang seen from behind a dense front row of seated devotees. Most wear white dhotis and white shirts, and a few carry malas or wear saffron-orange shawls. Behind them, standing men in white clothes and a man in a grey vest look toward the front of the hall. A man in a light blue shirt sits in the middle of the rows. Yellow walls and a framed poster on the wall form the background. The crowd is large, so the count is given as a range.

Standing along the right wall, people in white dhotis and kurtas and a man in a light green shirt watch quietly. A metal table with a glass top stands in the foreground. A woman in white and an orange-robed figure stand in the background near the open doorway.
