A stage event with a seated speaker in the centre wearing an orange and saffron draped garment, speaking into a microphone on a stand, seated on a white cushioned chair beside a small table with a water bottle. Around her sit several men and women in white dhotis, saruvs and kurtas, some with orange shawls and garlands, and a monk-like figure in a maroon-red robe on the left. Foreground rows show many young women with long braided hair in white and orange clothing seated on the floor facing the stage. A dark red curtain forms the backdrop, with a framed photograph display and a floor fan at left. Whether the central speaker is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance.

A stage at an indoor event with a golden canopied throne, red draped curtains and gold lion-head carvings. Seated on a raised red and gold throne is a figure wearing pink and gold robes with a matching turban and a garland of beads, shown as a large painted or cut-out backdrop figure rather than a physical presence. In front, a woman in a white and gold-bordered sari holds a microphone while seated on a cushioned chair. Beside her, several young people in saffron-orange robes with orange turbans and red-orange beaded necklaces sit on cushions, and further along, women in white saris with rudraksha beads sit in a row. A standing woman in a white sari with a microphone stands at the right edge. A laptop sits on a small table in the foreground.

Photograph of a stage event before red curtains and a speaker stand. Seven women and one man stand in a row on the stage, wearing garlands and rudraksha malas. The man on the far left wears a white dhoti with gold border and bare upper body. The woman at far right holds a microphone and wears a rust-red sari; the woman second from right wears an orange sari. Two gold-and-ornate thrones stand behind the group. Several women in saffron, pink and maroon saris are seated in the audience below, and a camera on a tripod is visible at left. The women hold hands in namaste or stand with hands clasped.

A photograph of a devotional ceremony in a hall with a maroon curtain backdrop and a raised stage. Two women in white saris stand on the stage performing an aarti, one holding a lamp and the other raising a lit lamp toward a cluster of gold deity murtis on an altar. A framed picture of a deity hangs above the altar. To the right stands a standing statue in orange robes holding a staff. Many women in white clothing sit cross-legged on the floor facing the stage, some in blue, green and orange garments. Hanging decorative banners in red, yellow and blue line the top of the hall.

A stage event in a large hall. A man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne at centre, with a garlanded deity backdrop behind him. In front of the stage, about ten people in white and yellow saris and white dhotis sit on an orange mat, some holding books or small items, while a young priest in white with a shaved head and horizontal tilak on the left speaks into a microphone. A large orange-draped table and a potted decoration sit at the right of the stage. The seated figure in orange could be a person, wearing saffron robes, a rudraksha mala and a sitting-throne position, though his face is too small to confirm; the other figures are devotees and priests.

A photograph of a satsang-style gathering in a hall with a red curtain backdrop and a red stage. Five seated figures sit on gold-ornate chairs on a red-carpeted dais; the centre man wears white with a white shawl and rudraksha mala, and the others wear white, a grey-purple sari, and saffron. Several women and men in orange and saffron robes with rudraksha malas stand behind them at the left and right, and a woman in orange speaks into a microphone at the far right. A striped mat lies on the floor in front, and a large audience of seated devotees in white and colourful clothes fills the foreground.

A photograph of a stage at an indoor event. On the left, a large cutout portrait of a bearded man with long hair, wearing an orange robe and rudraksha malas, is set on a red-and-gold throne-like seat; no candidate can be confirmed from appearance, so this is a printed depiction of an unidentified figure. Five women sit on a patterned rug in front of the stage: the woman on the far left wears a cream sari and holds a microphone; the next three wear orange-red saris with rudraksha malas; the two central women wear cream saris with beaded necklaces, one holding a microphone. A man with bare upper body and ash-smeared chest sits at the right of the group, wearing a white dhoti and mala, and a woman in a white sari stands at the right edge beside a brass railing. Behind them are gold lion carvings, red drapes and a wall air conditioner.

A stage event in a hall with red curtains and a gold-framed throne area. Seated on the raised platform are several people in traditional dress: a woman in a red and gold sari speaking into a microphone, a woman in orange and red with a garland, a young woman in yellow and pink, a man in white dhoti with a saffron-trimmed shawl and rudraksha-style beads, a woman in red and orange, a woman in a green and gold sari, and a man in a white and gold shawl. A standing woman in white with a microphone stands at the right near a brass railing. A golden nandi figure sits at the front edge. The scene appears to be a satsang-style program with the speaker seated and others gathered on the stage.
