A photograph of a large hall where many devotees sit cross-legged in white clothes on a green and red striped mat during a seated programme. Most wear white kurtas or white shirts, and some wear white T-shirts printed with a face. Several have their hands folded in prayer or meditation postures. Lower walls display framed posters of a bearded man, and a banner with a portrait hangs high on the left wall. Bright ceiling lights illuminate the room.

A dim hall filled with rows of seated devotees dressed in white, many sitting cross-legged in meditation posture. Several men wear white shirts and dhotis with ID lanyards, one man in the foreground wears a white shirt and a gold bangle, and a younger man at lower right wears a grey shirt. A few devotees wear rudraksha mala beads and a red-and-white shawl. Overhead lights glow at the right edge, and a white banner hangs in the background. The scene suggests an evening darshan or meditation gathering, with no clearly identifiable a person visible in the crowd.

A large hall filled with hundreds of seated devotees dressed in white clothing with red cloths tied around their heads, sitting on colourful striped mats in rows facing a raised stage. On the stage a golden ornate altar with a deity murti and framed portraits flank the stage on the walls, with a large portrait on each side wall. Pink and red lighting and red curtains frame the hall. The scene suggests a congregational satsang or initiation session. A figure in the far stage area is visible but his clothing and features are too small to assess reliably.

A photograph of a large seated audience in white clothes at an indoor hall during an energy darshan session. Rows of men in white kurtas and dhotis sit cross-legged on mats, many with heads bowed or turned toward the front. A bright stage light and a video camera on a tripod stand at the back. Large framed portraits of a woman with long dark hair hang on the walls, and orange-and-white banners hang from the ceiling. At the far right edge, a single figure in white with an orange shawl sits apart near the wall. A few audience members wear rudraksha malas. The scene is a meditative gathering rather than a procession.
