A photograph of a seated crowd of devotees filling an interior room with wood-panelled walls and glass display cabinets behind them. Most men wear white shirts or dhoti-style white clothing with rudraksha malas around their necks, and several women wear sarees in cream, yellow and maroon. A woman in a patterned saree stands at the left edge, and a few men in white stand near the back against the cabinets. Faces are turned toward a point off-frame. A small child sits in the lower right. No identifiable a person figure is clearly visible.

A dimly lit hall where a large crowd of men dressed in white shirts and white dhotis sits cross-legged on mats in meditative postures, many with eyes closed. Several wear beaded rudraksha-style necklaces. Among them are men in light grey shirts and checked lungis. Tall metal truss structures and decorative hanging tassels are visible at the top of the frame, with patterned screens on the windows behind. Their hands rest on their laps or are joined in front. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible among the seated participants.

A dense crowd of devotees sits seated on a stone floor inside a temple hall with carved granite pillars, decorated with coloured cloth bands. Most men wear white dhotis and white shirts, and women wear white or cream saris with gold necklaces. A man in an orange shirt sits at lower left, a man in a pink shirt in the centre, and a man in a light blue shirt with glasses sits behind them with hands joined. A small boy in a checked shirt sits among the adults. Many faces look toward the front of the hall. No clearly identifiable figure is distinguished by ornate saffron dress or long hair, so no appearance-based candidate for the teacher is established.

Most wear plain white kurtas or shirts and white dhotis, some with white shawls and beaded necklaces. Several people in the foreground have their hands in meditative mudras on their knees. A man in the front centre has a shaved head and white attire. Faint shapes of a stage or hangings are visible at the top of the dark room.

A few devotees wear rudraksha mala beads and a red-and-white shawl. Overhead lights glow at the right edge, and a white banner hangs in the background. The scene suggests an evening darshan or meditation gathering, with no clearly identifiable a person visible in the crowd.

Photo of a seated congregation in an orange-walled hall with a red-and-cream floor and metal railing. Men in white shirts and dhotis, one in a cream shirt with a red shawl, and others in striped shirts and dark trousers sit cross-legged on mats in the foreground. Behind the railing, women in white and coloured saris sit in rows. Several men wear rudraksha or pendant necklaces. A person in white stands at the far back near a doorway, and a small wall display is visible. No one wearing identifiable a person-style regalia is clearly shown, so the identity is uncertain. Roughly thirty-plus people are visible.
