Outdoor photograph of a teaching session under a white canopy beside dense green forest. A person seated at the right edge wears flowing saffron-orange robes and sits on a folding chair with dark-skinned bare feet resting on the grass; long dark hair falls past the shoulders. Around them, a large seated audience sits on the lawn, including men in checked shirts, a woman in a grey shawl and a woman in a dark patterned top, many listening attentively. A man in a green sweater with a red beaded mala sits centre-left. A standing man in a striped shirt stands at the back holding a long stick. A small wooden box and orange cushions lie in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a seated teaching position, so the central figure is labelled as a probable candidate.

Outdoor gathering under a green shade tarp beside a rocky riverbed with green shrubs and trees behind. A long-haired figure in a bright orange robe and orange shawl sits on a green metal swing seat draped in white cloth, holding a silver tray or device and what appears to be a small bowl, with leopard-print cushions beneath. Around them, a large circle of seated devotees claps and gestures with hands raised; a bald man in a white kurta sits near the seat, a woman in a red top and others in fleece jackets, shawls and saris surround the group. The scene is a satsang-style sharing outdoors.

A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe, sits on a cushioned swing-style seat with a leopard-print cover, facing a seated audience. Rows of white folding chairs hold about a dozen attendees, including people in white, red and orange clothing. A red mat lies on the ground in front of the seat, and yellow flowers and a potted plant stand nearby. A figure in orange appears seated on the seat with a small side table and bottle beside it. a person is marked by long swept-back hair and saffron robes, and he appears to be giving a talk or satsang to the seated group.

Outdoor satsang beneath a massive banyan tree with many hanging aerial roots and wide spreading branches. A large crowd of devotees sits on sandy ground, mostly in white clothing, with some in pink, blue and red. A figure in orange robes with long dark hair sits cross-legged on a white-draped seat at a microphone on a raised stone platform, appearing to speak. A white easel board stands near the tree, and a circular stone platform with a decorative edge sits to the right. A seated figure in orange with long hair fits the presentation cues on the page, so the appearance-based label applies. Watermarked copyright text runs along the right edge, which is not transcribed.

Outdoor ritual gathering on bare ground beneath a large banyan tree with thick aerial roots. Many seated participants in orange and saffron robes sit in rows, many holding open books, while others in white clothing sit further back. Several long bamboo poles with orange cloth streamers rise from the ground in front of the rows. In the right foreground, a woman with long dark hair in an orange garment and white shawl sits on a chair facing the group, her hands in a teaching posture, with a small blurred figure beside her. On the left, brass pots and offering plates with flowers lie on a cloth in front of the seated devotees. A man in a white shirt stands between the trees in the background. The scene suggests a satsang or ritual observance held outdoors.
