A large seated crowd of women fills a tent-covered hall during an ashram event, with banana plants and strings of yellow and orange marigold garlands strung overhead. Most wear white or pale saris and salwar-style dress, with some in green, blue, purple and red. Several have rudraksha or bead necklaces and reading glasses. A few wear name badges on lanyards. In the front, women sit cross-legged on mats, some with hands raised or chins resting in palms. Men in white shirts stand near a raised stage area in the background.

A photograph of a large crowd seated on bare ground inside a red-walled hall with a green corrugated roof, many people gazing upward toward something above them. In the foreground at left, a man with a grey beard and long hair sits in white clothes with an orange shawl, a bead necklace and a wristwatch, beside a woman in an orange shawl and white garment. Most others wear white or light clothing, with some in saffron, red and orange saris, and several in school shirts. A small figure in white stands near the top centre of the crowd. The scene looks like a gathered celebration at a temple hall, and the page's Deepavali context is not visible in the image itself.

Behind her, a woman in a green shawl over a white outfit smiles, and a young boy in a white t-shirt sits among the crowd. Most attendees face toward the front, watching the programme in dim light, with no visible stage, deity or ritual objects in frame.

A night-time outdoor gathering of many seated devotees on grass, facing toward an unseen focal point at the right. Most wear white clothing; women in saris and salwar kameez, some with vibhuti or kumkum marks, sit in rows, while a few men stand at the back in white shirts and dhotis. One older woman in front wears a blue sari and another wears a maroon top with a shoulder bag. Figures are not identifiable as any particular person; no clear a person candidate is visible. Lamps and dark sky set the evening mood.

A large crowd of devotees sits on the floor in a hall, most dressed in white, with some wearing saffron or orange shawls and others in green, maroon and floral cotton saris. Many wear beaded necklaces and bangles, and several have hair in long braids. They look toward a stage at the front, where a large portrait and a small decorated altar are visible near the top of the frame. The room is dimly lit and the seated attendees fill nearly the whole picture.
