July 11 20152015-07-11Photograph from behind a speaker in a saffron-and-gold sari with a rudraksha mala, standing at the front of a large hall while seated audience members in white and colourful clothes sit on red mats facing forward. Rows of seated devotees fill the room under bright ceiling lights, with red curtains along the walls. Many attendees hold pink and white fans, and some have booklets on the mats. A few people in orange and maroon robes sit near the front left. The speaker's face is not visible, so no identification is made from appearance; the figure is described by role as a speaker addressing satsang.2013-09-28A long-haired man in an orange-brown saffron wrap with gold edging sits on a low wooden seat at left, speaking into a handheld microphone, his back partly turned to the camera.

A standing figure in a saffron-orange robe with a shawl over a light dhoti, wearing a long rudraksha-style mala, walks barefoot down the center aisle toward the front. Overhead ceiling lights and red curtained windows line the room. A gold-trimmed shrine or throne area is visible at the far end.

Approximately 100 to 150 people are visible.2013-08-17A large tented hall with cream and gold drapes hosts a seated discourse.
