Men in white shirts line both sides of the carpet, which is bordered by white cloth and banana leaves. Audiences sit on chairs on either side of the walkway. The stage shows a few seated figures, but no one can be identified by appearance in this view.

Night photograph of a large outdoor satsang at an ashram. Hundreds of devotees in white clothes sit cross-legged on the ground in rows, facing a lit stage under a metal-roofed canopy with bright white floodlights. A long dark red carpet runs down the centre aisle between metal barriers toward the stage. Palm trees are silhouetted against the dark sky. A few people in white stand at the edges. A figure in an orange shawl sits among the devotees on the right, but no clear identification is possible from appearance alone.

A night outdoor gathering at an ashram-style compound lit by bright floodlights. Many devotees sit on white and red plastic chairs or stand on paved ground, most in white and cream clothing, with some women in saris of orange and pink. Tall green palm fronds and hanging decorations line the scene, and a scaffold-like frame stands in the background. A dark speaker sits at left beside a building with orange walls. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible, so the appearance is uncertain.
