A dimly lit hall with an audience of many devotees seated on the floor facing a stage. Most attendees wear white clothing with red or maroon shawls draped over their shoulders, and some are seated on wooden chairs. The stage is framed by decorative arches and lit by warm lamps, with elaborate deity murti or decorated figures displayed in the centre and at each side. A large screen on the right shows a colourful image. Red carpet runs down the centre aisle, and petals are scattered on the floor. Hanging saffron and red fabric banners line the upper walls.

A large hall during a seated deeksha session, with hundreds of devotees sitting on the floor in white clothes facing forward down a central aisle. Two wall-mounted screens on either side show a figure in red and gold ceremonial dress on a throne-like seat, and a gilded deity murti is lit at the far end of the hall. Many attendees wear white, with a few in orange or yellow saris, and the room is dimly lit for meditation.

A dim hall viewed from the back, with a large audience of seated devotees in white clothes silhouetted in the foreground facing a stage. The stage backdrop is decorated with illuminated arches, floral garlands, a golden canopy and a central deity murti flanked by figures, lit with warm lamps. A second large screen on the right shows the same decorated stage. Chandeliers hang from the ceiling and a red curtain frames the stage. No individual figure on the stage can be clearly identified as a person.

A dim indoor hall filled with a large audience of people seen from behind, most in white shirts, seated in rows on the floor facing the stage.

A seated audience of many devotees, mostly men in white kurtas and white dhotis with yellow-and-orange sashes, sits on the floor of a hall facing a large projection screen. The screen shows a figure in a red-and-orange robe with a red turban and a beaded necklace, seated before a gilded backdrop, making a hand gesture. A smaller seated figure in red appears on a raised platform near the screen, and framed photographs hang on the walls above a shrine area with a carved golden panel. The scene shows a live-streamed discourse being watched by the gathering.
