A large hall with a striped multicolored floor mat where a group of about twenty-five men in white kurta-style clothes and white shawls sit cross-legged in rows, facing right. A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe sits apart on the right, bald-headed and with the mat in front of him; the page suggests this may be the a person, but the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm. Rows of white plastic chairs fill the foreground, a yellow floral tablecloth lies at lower left, and colourful hanging banners decorate the ceiling and pillars. Several people stand or move near tables at the back of the hall.

A large hall with a high metal-roofed ceiling and bamboo-style structural beams holds a seated assembly of men in white clothes and rudraksha malas, sitting cross-legged on colourful striped mats in rows. Several sit with hands joined in prayer. Along the back wall hangs a large framed portrait of a bearded saint, and on the right a second portrait of a smiling elder in a white head covering is displayed above stacked folded mats, with women in white seated along the right side. A small white table with items stands at the far left. No a person candidate is visibly identifiable in the scene.

A large indoor hall with white tiled floor where many devotees sit on striped mats and chairs listening to a discourse. Most men wear white kurta and dhoti-style clothing, several with dark rudraksha malas around their necks. Some seated at the front wear white shirts and dark trousers. Behind them, women in colourful saris sit on chairs near a glass display cabinet, and orange and saffron drapes hang along the back wall beneath decorative striped bunting. The setting suggests a satsang or youth discourse.

A large hall with white walls and a white ceiling hung with colourful striped cylindrical banners. Rows of men in white shirts and white dhotis sit on white plastic chairs on a tiled floor, facing toward the front. Several wear lanyards or necklaces. A woman in a beige sari sits at the left edge near a small table. At the far end, an orange draped form stands near the white curtained wall. Speakers hang from the ceiling frame.

In the foreground a few people sit near the mats, and at the right a man in white with an orange-saffron shawl sits on a white plastic chair, holding a phone to his ear. Overhead hang colourful banners and lights, and a standing figure in white with an orange wrap stands near the back. A decorative panel and wall displays are visible at the right edge.

A photograph of a large seated gathering of men in white dress inside a tent-covered hall at an ashram program. Most attendees sit on white plastic chairs, some wear lanyards, and many have their hands resting in their laps or on their knees. Blue and purple mats line the floor, with a yellow painted line along the concrete. Behind them hang decorated banners with coloured patterns and yellow fabric, and framed images line the back wall. Attendees appear to be listening or meditating. No single figure stands out as a clearly identifiable presenter in this frame.

A large hall with a white tent-like ceiling and many hanging decorative cylindrical banners in red, blue, yellow and white patterns with tassels. Rows of seated people in white clothing sit on colourful woven rugs on a bare concrete floor, facing forward. Several men in front wear white dhoti-style garments and beaded necklaces, some with prayer beads in hand. In the background at left, a framed picture sits on a small altar table with flowers. Windows and wall panels line the right side.

Rows of men in plain white shirts and dhotis sit cross-legged on orange, blue and striped mats, several with eyes closed or gazing upward. A man in the foreground wears a white shirt, a black mala and gold bangles. A golden deity murti stands near the back, and a red-curtained window and red chairs are visible. A blue bag sits at lower left. The seated crowd appears to number well above twenty.
