A photograph of a seated group session in a hall, with many participants sitting on the floor and in chairs. In the foreground a woman with grey-streaked hair wears a white top and a saffron-orange shawl, and another woman with dark hair in a bun sits in a patterned shawl. Behind them a large printed banner of a smiling figure wearing a red-orange turban with a gold ornament, a red-orange robe, a multi-strand bead necklace and a raised hand stands in the scene, and it is a printed image rather than a physical person. Many attendees wear white and saffron-orange shawls and some hold papers. Information display boards line the back wall.

A central figure in a rust-orange robe with a large gold necklace sits on an ornate brown throne-like chair, with a gold-leafed tree display behind. Many people in white kurtas or tunics and rust-orange shawls, several in orange and red turbans, sit in rows around cutout standees. A woman in a rust-orange sari stands at left, and a man in white stands at upper right. Purple-lit panels and exhibition booths line the back wall.2015-07-09A large hall filled with seated devotees in white clothes and orange-red shawls, many wearing orange-red sashes over their shoulders. In the centre, a figure in orange robes and a yellow-orange flower garland sits on a brown leather throne, with a tall silver trident standing beside him. The crowd sits on the floor in rows and on red-cushioned chairs, some with hands raised or palms together. Red walls, orange hanging cloths and framed posters line the room behind the gathering. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a person but the cues are limited, so identity remains uncertain; the scene reads as a satsang or Inner Awakening discourse with devotees listening.2015-10-19A seated group of devotees in an indoor hall, most wearing red-orange turbans, red-orange shawls and rudraksha-style beaded malas.
