A photograph of a seated crowd of smiling men inside a stone-walled hall, apparently at a satsang. In the foreground, a man with glasses in a white shirt and grey trousers sits on the left, and a grey-haired man in a white shirt and white dhoti sits at centre wearing a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, hands clasped. Beside him on the right, a man in a white shirt wears a dark rudraksha mala and gold bangles. A young man in a blue sports shirt with a rudraksha mala sits behind them, and standing figures in white dhotis and orange cloth fill the background. Several attendees wear rudraksha malas and pendants. No person is recognisably a person by visible cues.

Seated audience at a satsang on a wooden floor, men in white shirts and dhotis, several women in sarees and salwar in the back rows, all attentively facing forward. A grey-haired man in front wears a white shirt and has white vibhuti marks on his forehead; another man beside him in a yellow-beige shirt also shows forehead marks. No identifiable a person figure is visible in the frame, so the audience members are described by role only.

A seated group of men and a boy in a room with a wooden door and cream walls. Most wear plain white shirts and white dhotis; one man has a red-and-white bordered dhoti and a wristwatch, another wears a green checked shirt, and a boy in a striped shirt sits at right looking upward. A figure in orange at far left and a standing man in white at top right are partly visible. Their attention appears directed toward someone outside the frame. No a person candidate is clearly visible.

A large seated audience of men fills the frame at an evening satsang. In the foreground, a man in white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha mala sits with eyes closed, hands folded in prayer. Beside him, a man in a checked shirt and white dhoti sits with palms joined. On the right, a man in white dhoti with orange border and rudraksha mala sits attentively. Many other men in white and light-coloured shirts, some with vibhuti or kumkum on their foreheads and some wearing glasses, sit in rows behind them. The scene shows devotees listening in prayerful attention. No speaker or a person candidate is visible in this frame.

A seated crowd of devotees in white clothing meditates with eyes closed inside a hall. In the foreground, a bald man in round glasses and a white shirt sits beside a younger man with a moustache in a white kurta. Behind them, many men in white dhotis and shirts sit closely packed. A man in the centre wears white and orange cloth, a sacred ash mark on his forehead and a red bindi. Several people wear eyeglasses and rudraksha or prayer beads.

A dense, seated crowd of men fills the frame at an evening or night satsang gathering. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis, and several wear rudraksha mala beads around their necks. A few figures wear darker or patterned shirts, including a yellow-and-white striped shirt and a maroon shirt. Many carry small name badges on their chests. A few faces are partly lowered in meditation or attentiveness, and one bald man in the lower foreground has his hands pressed together. The crowd extends beyond the top of the frame, with rows of people behind them.

Photograph of a large seated crowd of men at an indoor Inner Healing session at the ashram. Nearly all wear white shirts and white dhoti-style clothing, and many wear rudraksha malas around their necks. A man in the foreground left with glasses and a rudraksha mala looks forward, and a shaved-headed man in white with a tilak mark on his forehead sits centre-foreground. Behind them rows of attendees sit closely together under hanging banners and a fan, with a few wearing white ID badges on lanyards. Several people appear to be meditating with eyes closed. The image shows no clearly identifiable candidate for a person in the visible crowd.

A dimly lit hall filled with many men seated cross-legged on white sheets, all dressed in white shirts and white dhotis or trousers. Many wear round badges or medallions with ribbons on their chests, and some wear beaded necklaces. Several sit with hands folded or palms resting on their laps, and their faces are turned toward the front of the hall in quiet attentive posture. Behind them, the room is largely dark with faint hanging decorations and distant shapes near the back wall.

A photograph of a seated congregation of men in plain white shirts and white dhotis, sitting cross-legged on a polished floor during a satsang or deeksha session. Many have moustaches, eyeglasses and lanyard badges; some wear red and yellow wrist threads and bracelets. In the foreground a young man with a red vermilion mark on his forehead rests his chin on his hand, and an older man beside him gazes forward. Turquoise cushions lie on the floor. A carved wooden door and cream walls form the background. No speaker or teacher is visible in the frame, so the presiding figure cannot be identified here.
