Photograph of a large ashram hall with a red velvet curtain backdrop and gold-framed shrines flanking the stage. Seated on a white ornate throne at the centre is a figure in orange-brown robes, with a white arched canopy behind. Two video cameras on tripods film the stage. A large audience sits cross-legged on the floor with their backs to the camera: many men wear white dhotis with gold borders and some have bare shoulders, and women wear orange saris. Lit oil lamps stand at the base of the stage. The seated figure on the throne is a depiction of a guru-like teacher, not a clearly identifiable person, so identity is left unsure.

A seated audience of devotees, mostly seen from behind, faces a raised stage with red drapes and gold-trimmed side panels. On a white ornate throne at centre sits a figure in orange and saffron robes with a saffron turban, a person by his throne, saffron robes and turban, though the figure is small and distant. Many attendees wear white dhotis or orange shawls, and some have long braided hair. Film cameras on tripods film the stage, and a gold deity figure stands in each side niche. Pink-clad people sit at the right.

A satsang hall with a red draped backdrop and gold-panelled side screens. A figure in an orange-red turban and robes sits on an ornate white throne with a canopy, a gesturing hand raised. In front, rows of seated men in white dhotis, some bare-chested with gold-edged shawls, sit on orange mats facing the stage. Camera tripods and lights are set at the front, and saffron-robed monks stand along the right side near brass posts. A curved white-and-gold statue stands beside the stage.

Interior of a hall with red draped curtains where a large crowd of devotees sits on the floor facing a golden throne stage. On the central golden throne sits a seated figure wearing a red garment and a garland of white and yellow flowers, flanked by golden canopies and a gilded niche. To the right stands a golden deity murti adorned with a yellow-and-white flower garland, and a standing figure in white. In the foreground, many seated devotees wear orange or saffron shawls, white dhotis with gold borders, rudraksha malas and head cloths; some are bare-chested. Video cameras on tripods film the stage, and brass lamps line the front rail.

A large audience of seated participants, mostly in white and some in orange or saffron, faces a raised golden stage backed by a deep red curtain. On a golden throne flanked by lion-shaped armrests, a figure in saffron robes with a red head covering, rudraksha-style beads, and a white flower garland sits with a microphone stand before him. Two tall gold ornamental panels frame the throne. Camera tripods and lights stand at the sides of the stage. The scene is a discourse setting; a seated figure on the central throne is in the a person candidate role of the speaker, with the audience in rows below.

Photograph of a satsang hall with a gold-carved and red-curtained stage. On two white-and-red thrones sit two seated figures: a man in orange robes wearing a rudraksha mala and a garland, and a figure in dark red-brown clothing with a crown and a gold necklace. In front, many bald men in white dhotis with gold borders sit cross-legged on mats with rudraksha malas, their backs to the camera. A video camera on a tripod and a stand fan stand at the right side. Women in orange are seated among the crowd. The scene appears to be a formal discourse.

Seated devotees fill the foreground of a hall, viewed from behind: many men bare-chested with white dhoti-style cloths and orange saffron shawls, some with rudraksha malas, and a few women in white saris with gold borders. They face a stage draped in red curtains flanked by gold-carved panels, where a figure in orange-red robes, ornate gold necklaces and a crown sits on a white throne with a red cushion. Shrouded in shadow beside the stage, camera tripods and a standing cooling unit are visible. The seated group numbers well over twenty people.
