A photograph of a video-conference screen showing a group of devotees in white clothes seated in a room with cream sofas and cushions, taking notes on paper and in notebooks. In the upper left corner of the screen, a small inset window shows a speaker in orange-and-red robes with long hair, a figure whose identity cannot be confirmed from appearance. Most seated participants wear white, with one woman in a black head covering and another in an orange shawl. A water bottle sits on the right side of the room.

A photograph of a pada pooja in a devotee's home, a plain room with pale yellow walls, a white-covered sofa and a small window with flower garlands. A figure in saffron-orange robes with a flower garland sits on the sofa with hands pressed in anjali, and a second robed figure in orange sits beside him. Seated on the floor in front of them, devotees in white, cream and pink clothes, some wearing a sari or kurta, kneel with hands folded in prayer. Two people in orange also sit with folded hands on the left and right. A woman in orange and gold sari sits at the lower left, and a girl in white with a white hair ribbon sits at the front. A ceiling fan and wall speakers are visible. The orange-robed figure seated on the sofa is a candidate for a person by appearance, with long dark hair and a garland, though this is uncertain given the distance and the seated pose.

A seated teacher in an orange saffron shawl and white dhoti sits on a white cushioned seat in a living room, gesturing with one hand while speaking. Around him, devotees in white clothes sit cross-legged on the floor and on a sofa at left, one woman wearing a blue sari. A green mat and red-bordered rug lie in front of the seat, a flat-screen television and wooden cabinet are behind him, and a small framed picture hangs on the wall. Lamps light the cream room, with glass doors and curtains at right.

A photograph of a large seated gathering of devotees in white clothing, many with eyes closed in meditation, inside a hall with cream walls. Two framed portraits hang on the back wall: one at upper left and one centre-back showing a smiling man in a white turban, labelled only by the frame, not by readable text. Foreground women wear white garments, rudraksha malas and small red bindis; some sit cross-legged on pink and maroon striped mats with water bottles nearby. Colourful decorative poles line the right side. A mid-background man in white sits near a green-shirted figure. No clearly visible a person candidate in person, since the only candidates are on portraits.

A photograph of a seated meditation or mandala initiation session in a hall with cream walls, red curtains and framed photos above. In the foreground a bald man in white clothing and rudraksha mala sits with eyes closed, hands resting on his knees. Beside him a young boy in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha mala and a tilak sits with eyes closed, holding a small white object. At right a man in white with rudraksha mala sits with hands in his lap. Behind them other seated participants in white and casual clothes sit on white chairs, a woman in white and a man in pink shirt among them, and a screen shows a figure in red. A Ganesha-like statue is visible near the centre.

A seated group of devotees fills a bare-walled hall with striped floor mats, many in white traditional clothing with gold borders. In the foreground, women sit in rows facing a raised platform at the right, where a woman in an orange sari sits beside a seated figure in orange robes on a white-draped seat with a striped cushion. A large framed painted portrait of a figure in orange hangs on the wall above, and brass lamps stand on either side. A television screen on a stand shows an image, with a dark deity murti and other items on a table at left. Some devotees are partly visible at the bottom edge, and one woman holds a camera.
