A row of women stands against a pale stage backdrop at an evening event. Most wear white saris with gold borders, and one wears a patterned cream sari with gold accents. Several have necklaces and name badges pinned to their clothing. Their hands are clasped or held at their sides as they face forward, and a blue-grey stage drape is visible at the right edge.

A photograph of a large seated gathering of women in white saris, many with rudraksha malas and small rosette badges, sitting cross-legged on white floor mats in a hall. Some wear orange-bordered or orange-and-white saris. Several have palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them stands a decorated altar area with a deity murti under draped garlands, hanging ornamental tassels in red, yellow and blue, and a row of illuminated lettering across the ceiling. Several people stand at the back in white clothing near the walls.

A large seated audience fills a hall at an Ananda Samajam programme. In the foreground, several women in white saris with gold borders sit on a pale floor, many wearing dark beaded malas and round rosette badges with green and orange ribbons. Some have orange-and-white saris. Behind them, rows of men in white shirts and white dhotis sit, some with orange shawls and similar badges. A video camera on a tripod stands at the centre-right, and colourful balloons and a decorated backdrop hang at the top of the hall. Many people look toward the stage.

A photograph of a devotional gathering in a hall with a stage at the top left. A woman in a white sari with gold border sits on a white plastic chair and presses her palm onto the head of a kneeling woman in a white sari with gold border, who has her hands folded in anjali. Behind them, a row of seated women wear white saris with orange shawls draped over their shoulders. Standing figures in white dress stand at the stage edge, and a colourful draped backdrop hangs behind. No a person candidate is visible in the frame; the scene shows women receiving a blessing, with a sense of a ritual initiation, and the people count is six to twenty.

A group of women in white sarees with gold borders and orange shawls sit on white plastic chairs on a hall floor, several of them smiling and conversing. One woman in the center holds a microphone while others listen. Some younger girls in white and yellow sit on a patterned rug in the foreground. Behind them stands a wooden cabinet, a stage with red curtains, a standing fan and a speaker, with a flower arrangement at the right edge.

A photo of seven women standing in a row on a stage in front of a deep maroon curtain, reading from sheets of paper while holding microphones. They wear white handloom saris with gold borders and yellow shawls, and the woman in the centre wears a red shawl. Several have rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. A small string of green fairy lights runs along the stage edge. Bare feet on a light marble floor suggest a cultural programme performance.

Indoor gathering in a large hall where many women in white saris with gold borders sit on the floor in rows, most wearing white or cream saris, some in red or maroon. Several wear rosette ribbons with rosettes pinned to their saris. A woman in a cream and orange sari sits on a white plastic chair at the left, laughing, near a raised platform with a glass display case, a monitor, and a garland-decorated stand. Hanging orange and yellow lanterns and a red and white bunting line decorate the ceiling, with a white metal frame structure at the upper left.
