A photograph of a large hall filled with seated devotees on orange and blue mats, most dressed in white and cream clothing, facing a raised stage at the far end. On the stage stand golden deity murtis and ornate golden figures beneath a blue backdrop, with a screen on either side. Tall decorative pillars with orange tassels and colourful woven bands hang from a white draped ceiling, and a brass plate with offerings sits in the foreground. The scene suggests a satsang gathering with a large attendance, though the people are seen mostly from behind.

A photograph from behind a large seated congregation filling a hall with white ceiling fabric and hanging decorative pillars in red, yellow, blue and white. Most attendees wear white shirts and dhotis or grey kurtas and sit on orange and striped mats. Several people hold small items. At the far end, a raised stage holds a golden seated figure and golden murti with ornate decorations and flanking attendants, possibly a deity murti or a guru's throne; the seated figure's appearance is not clear enough to identify.
