A photograph of a night-time outdoor gathering where a crowd of devotees stands and sits around flickering fires and oil lamps in the foreground. Several small flames burn in clay or metal vessels, and smoke rises in the warm light. People in the middle ground face toward a brightly lit stage or structure with colourful lights. The scene suggests a ritual fire gathering with onlookers, though the details are blurry.

A two-panel collage of a homa or yagna in a white-walled hall. In each panel, a fire pit with a large flame sits at the centre, and people in white ritual clothes sit around it, one man in white tending the fire in the left panel. Behind them, a seated audience in white is visible, with a stone floor and pillars. Offering vessels sit near the fire pit. The collage is a photographic composite and shows a fire ritual rather than a discourse or talk.

Night photograph of a large outdoor ritual at a temple-style courtyard. Rows of hundreds of clay oil lamps (diyas) glow in the foreground, and a long platform behind them holds many seated people in white clothing, several with shaved heads, facing a central shivling-like stone lingam set in a round base decorated with flowers. Lamps line the lower steps and the dark background is lit only by the lamplight.

Night outdoor gathering at an ashram courtyard lit by a floodlight, with a fire pit or homa area at centre. Many devotees in orange and saffron robes sit in rows on mats and the ground facing the fire area, with a few standing near a red-painted building on the left. A laptop and a microphone stand are at the lower left, and a white banner is visible. Some figures in orange clothes stand around the central ceremony area.

Night outdoor photo of a satsang gathering under dark trees. A bright white floodlight shines from the centre, lighting a seated audience in rows on white chairs or mats facing a central dais at the front. Several people sit near the front, partly silhouetted against the lit area. The scene is shadowy with dense foliage framing the top of the frame.

Night photograph of a small outdoor gathering around a bright open fire on the ground. A person with long dark hair, wearing a reddish-orange garment, sits cross-legged at the fire, tending it or making an offering. Around them, several participants in casual clothes sit and stand in the dark, some in orange and white, watching the flames. Strings of prayer flags or cloth hang overhead at the left. The setting appears to be a camp in the Himalayas, with a dark hillside behind. The fire is.
