A photograph of a satsang line at a Bhagavad Gita Dhyana Satsang event. On the left, a row of devotees in white and light clothing stand with palms pressed together in namaskar, several with eyes closed. In the centre, a bald saffron-robed sannyasi holds a red tray and extends his hand toward a long-haired man in orange robes and a gold-coloured necklace, who is receiving a blessing. Other saffron-clad attendants stand behind holding brass trays with flowers. The backdrop banner reads Bhagavad Gita Dhyana Satsang and shows a smiling figure in ornate gold headwear against a sunset sky. Spotlights hang from the ceiling.

A queue of devotees in casual shirts, some in orange and white, stands in a line along metal barriers inside a hall. A priest in saffron-orange robes with a red-and-pink shawl and a wrapped orange turban stands at the front, holding a small white item in his hand and raising it toward a devotee's head. Other monastic attendants in orange robes and white dhotis stand nearby, one holding a tray. Behind them a large banner shows a smiling man in an orange turban above the words Bhagavad Dhyanapeetam.

A photograph of a line of devotees receiving blessings in an indoor hall with a decorated altar and floral garland backdrop. A figure in an ochre-orange robe with a tan turban and red-brown rudraksha beads is placing a hand on the head of a man in a white kurta with grey hair and white beard, who has his palms pressed together. Beside them, saffron-robed attendants and a white-clad priest stand; one holds a silver tray with a red box. Devotees around them wear yellow T-shirts, white shirts, a red shirt and a green shirt, with palms joined. Approximately seven people are visible.

A queue of devotees with hands folded in namaskar stands before a figure in a red and orange turban and a red sleeveless garment with rudraksha and white-beaded necklaces, who places a hand on a devotee's head while a saffron-robed monk in orange and a white-clad attendant hold a tray with offerings nearby. A large banner behind shows a smiling man in an orange turban above the words Bhagavad Gita and Dhyana. The scene reads as a darshan blessing line in a hall. The turbaned figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the role is described only as blessing giver.

A photograph of a devotional blessing at a Bhagavad Gita event in an indoor hall. A smiling man in a cream and gold turban, gold necklaces and a red-and-gold garment stands at the centre, his right hand extended to touch the forehead of a man in a white shirt who has his palms pressed together. Around them, a line of men in white and light shirts stand with hands folded, and an attendant in saffron and an elder with a shaved head in white dhoti-style cloth stand nearby. A red tray with a gold-edged card and small offerings sits in the foreground, and a banner behind reads Bhagavad Gita. The man in the cream turban has distinctive ceremonial adornment, but his face and identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so no identification is made.

A photograph of a devotional event held in a bright indoor hall. In the centre, a man in a red turban and red garment with a red shawl smiles while a monk in saffron robes and a saffron-and-maroon shawl raises a hand toward him, holding a tray or plate. To the right, a bald attendant in a white dhoti and white shawl carries a tray. On the left, a row of people in blue, navy and maroon shirts stand with palms pressed together in anjali, behind silver stanchions. A banner behind the group reads Bhagavad Gita with an orange-red graphic of a deity figure. A camera operator in white stands near the centre.
