A photograph of a seated audience facing a stage in a hall with a pink curtain backdrop and tall decorative pillars with woven bird patterns in orange, blue and yellow. On the stage, several people in saffron-orange robes stand near a microphone and a camera operator, while a woman in an orange sari stands at the front. Audience members sit on mats, many in white clothes, others in pink, red and patterned salwar kameez. A wall to the left holds a framed poster, and an elderly man sits at the right edge near the stage. The setting suggests a satsang or discourse gathering.

A large open-sided hall with a white ceiling and pink curtain backdrop hosts a satsang. Dozens of seated devotees, mostly in white and pastel salwar kameez or saris, fill the floor facing a raised stage. On the stage, a line of saffron-robed sannyasis and white-clad attendants stand together, while one figure in a long orange robe stands front and centre near a microphone, addressing the gathering. Tall pillars decorated with colourful geometric patterns and bird motifs frame the hall. Several seated people in the foreground have long dark hair in plaits. A mat covers the floor beneath the seated devotees. Pictured as a satsang at a Hosur ashram, with a sarva-darshan and food distribution noted in the page title.

A large seated audience sits on mats in an open-sided pavilion with a corrugated roof, facing a raised stage draped with pink curtains. Tall decorative pillars wrapped in colourful woven patterns with dove emblems flank the hall. On the stage, a figure in orange robes stands at a microphone, with two orange-clad attendants and a cameraperson nearby. A photograph on the left wall shows printed images. Many people in white, cream and patterned clothing, some wearing head coverings, sit in rows. Their backs are to the camera, and the crowd fills the foreground and middle of the frame.

A photograph of a large hall during a seated satsang. Many devotees in white clothes sit on striped mats facing a raised stage. On the stage, a figure in pink sits on an ornate gold throne, and a microphone stands before them. Colourful tasselled banners in orange, yellow and blue hang from the ceiling. Several people in the foreground wear orange and green garments and sit with notebooks and orange bags. A projector screen and white backdrop frame the stage. The figure on the throne shows no clear signs that would support an identification, so the a person field stays unsure.

Wide view from the back of a covered hall where a large seated crowd, mostly in white and light clothing, sits on mats facing a shrine. On a raised stone dais, a deity murti and garlanded figures stand under pink drapes and a central arch, with an orange-robed figure beside the shrine. Two people in orange and white stand at the left near the dais, and a man bends forward at the right edge. Tall striped and orange tassel banners hang from the ceiling, and a bird motif appears on the decorations. Several people in the crowd are partially visible, and the setting suggests a satsang or darshan gathering.

A hall with a tin roof and whitewashed walls hung with rows of decorative sticks and orange curtains, where a large group of people sits cross-legged on mats in white clothes with orange shawls. At the front, a woman in orange robes stands at a microphone on a raised platform beside a framed portrait of a figure in orange robes. A man in white clothing stands at the right by an orange curtained doorway, and a small table with a cloth and a pedestal sits to the left. Oil lamps and a small object sit on the stage, and a standing fan and speaker are visible.

Wide view inside a covered open-sided hall with a corrugated metal roof, where a large seated audience in white clothing fills the floor on mats. At the far end, several robed priests in orange and saffron stand before a decorated shrine with a deity murti framed by pink drapes and flower garlands. A row of garlanded deity figures and flower arrangements stands along the left side, and the walls carry framed photographs. The gathering appears to be a ritual puja or aarti in progress; no individual in the scene can be confidently identified as a person from appearance.

A large white-canopied hall with decorative painted pillars hung with banners, where a crowd of devotees sits cross-legged and on mats across the tiled floor, many dressed in white. At the right, a figure in orange robes sits on an orange-cushioned chair on a raised platform with a microphone, addressing the audience, with a printed poster on an easel beside them. Orange and yellow mats are laid out in rows, and the audience of roughly several dozen people listens in an attentive satsang-style discourse.

A large indoor satsang hall with a dense audience of devotees seated on colourful striped mats. Most attendees wear white clothing with red-orange shawls draped over their shoulders, while a few wear orange or saffron garments. In the front centre, a figure seated on an ornate golden throne wears an orange-red robe and is flanked by a microphone stand. Golden decorations and a blue banner hang in the background. The camera looks down over the crowd from behind, showing hundreds of heads and backs.

A photograph of a long open-sided hall where a large seated audience in white ritual clothes faces a central area. Many devotees sit cross-legged on a bare concrete floor, including women in white saris with orange and blue borders and long braids. Several people in white clothes with orange shawls stand near a white-draped table and a rounded white shrine or alcove, with brass and ritual objects nearby. No individual is clearly identifiable as the a person, so the candidate is unsure.
