Interior atrium of a multi-storey office building viewed from below, with white walls, a white ceiling with recessed lights, and balconies on several floors lined with blue and red panels. Many people stand along the upper balcony railings looking down. A hanging orange banner on the left reads a welcome message with a portrait of a woman with long dark hair in orange clothing, and a flower garland hangs near the bottom. Several people are visible in the lower lobby, including a smiling woman at the bottom right.

Large indoor hall with a multi-storey white interior and blue glass skylight. Hundreds of seated participants fill the floor in rows, most wearing white blindfold-style headbands over their eyes, and many wear white face masks. Men in shirts and dhotis sit on the left, while women in red, pink and orange saris sit on the right, with a blue carpeted aisle running between them. A single figure in an orange-red sari walks up the aisle toward the front. Additional spectators stand along the upper balconies, and banners and posters hang on the side walls.

Several tiers of balconies hold seated people in white clothes with orange-red shawls or sashes, seated in cushioned chairs along the railings. Spotlights and small speakers hang from the upper rails, with string lights and red garland decorations along the upper walkway. A camera operator is visible at the lower right. The a person candidate is not clearly identifiable from this distance, so no appearance-based identification is made.

Looking upward through a multi-tier atrium of a building with pale blue walls and pink-and-white ornamental plaster borders. A white chandelier with frosted globes hangs from the top ceiling, surrounded by recessed square plaster panels and downlights. White balusters line open balcony railings on several floors, and yellow-painted doors are visible on the lower levels. No people are visible in the scene.

A large indoor hall in a multi-storey building with a blue-tinted glass and steel roof. Hundreds of seated participants, mostly women in saris and salwar kameez, wear white blindfolds tied across their eyes. In the foreground, two figures stand near the front: one in an orange-saffron robe and one in a red garment, both facing the audience. Banners and display panels line the side walls, and a stage with a large backdrop sits at the far end. The seated crowd fills most of the frame.

A large indoor hall filled with hundreds of men seated on the floor in white dhotis and white shirts, many wearing rudraksha malas and red-brown shawls, reading and writing in notebooks at a satsang. In the foreground a bald man in white with a red-brown shawl writes in a notebook. At the far end of the hall, a deity murti is decorated with garlands and flowers near golden ornamental displays. Wall banners and framed pictures line the walls, and fluorescent ceiling lights hang over the room.

A photograph of a large indoor hall during a seated gathering. Many devotees fill red-upholstered seats and carpeted floor rows, mostly in white clothing with saffron-orange shawls draped over their shoulders, some wearing lanyards. Several people in the foreground sit cross-legged with hands joined. Balconies above are filled with more attendees, and garlands in green foliage line the railings. A video camera on a tripod stands at left, and a small offering tray sits near the front. The ceiling is wood-panelled with warm spotlights. Visible people number well over twenty.

A large hall with white ceiling tiles and framed deity posters along the walls shows a seated group of roughly 100 people in a circle on a pale floor. Most wear white, orange, saffron or maroon clothing, and many sit cross-legged facing inward. A single figure stands near the centre in an orange-brown garment, apparently addressing the group. Red chairs are stacked along the far side of the room.

A large hall filled with seated devotees facing a stage at the far end. Most attendees sit on black plastic chairs, while others sit cross-legged on floor mats; many wear white, peach, orange and blue saris and salwar kameez. A woman in an orange top sits in the front foreground. Red curtains and framed portraits line the side walls, and a backdrop with a deity image and a large projection screen are visible on the stage. Speakers hang from the ceiling and white pillars frame the room. A figure in saffron stands near the stage at right, but the presenter's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance. The setting resembles a satsang or Bhagavad Gita discourse.
