A large indoor hall with cream walls and framed pictures hangs above a seated assembly, mostly on orange and white mats and white chairs. Many participants wear rudraksha malas: men in white kurta-style clothes, others in saffron and orange robes, and several in red and pink tops. Some younger people in orange with white-painted foreheads sit in the front row. In the background, a golden-robed, seated figure is shown on a raised throne-like seat, which appears to be a statue or depiction rather than a living person. The people shown are attendees at a seated talk or satsang session.

A seated congregation fills a hall during a satsang-style gathering. In the foreground, young people in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas sit with white tilak-style marks on their foreheads, with several holding small items. Behind them, rows of devotees in white ritual clothes, some with rudraksha malas, sit on orange mats, while others in pink, red and grey shirts and white clothing sit on white chairs at the back. A large deity murti or throne is visible in the top centre, and a decorated gold-trimmed backdrop frames the stage. Many people are visible, roughly between 21 and 100, and no clear appearance-based candidate for the presiding figure is distinguishable in this crowd.

A large indoor hall with a cream tiled floor where a crowd of devotees sits cross-legged in a circle facing a central seated figure on an ornate red-brown throne. The figure wears saffron/orange robes and has a shaved head. Around them, many seated participants wear white kurta-style clothes, while others wear saffron or orange robes and maroon sarees with gold borders. Water bottles sit on the floor, and red chairs and red-cushioned seating line the back wall beside framed banner photos. The setting resembles a satsang or teaching session.

A large seated audience fills a hall, sitting closely on a patterned carpet. Most wear white kurtas or shirts, many with orange or saffron shawls draped over their shoulders, and several have orange forehead marks and beaded necklaces. Foreground figures include a bald man in white with an orange shawl, a young man in a teal-green shirt, and an older man with white hair and an orange-red shawl. Behind them a woman in orange stands near the far wall, and a gold-framed mural sits high on the wall. The scene suggests a satsang or lecture listening session.
