Photograph of a meditation or satsang hall with several people seated on white mattresses on a white stage platform, facing away from the camera. The seated figures wear white clothing; one foreground devotee in a white dhoti with a gold-bordered cloth sits cross-legged, and another in a white shirt sits beside him. A rudraksha-style mala lies on an orange cloth in the foreground. Behind them a deep red velvet curtain hangs, with a projection screen and a wooden stand at the upper left, and a person in white kneels near the stage steps. The seated figures are not visibly identifiable as a person; the scene shows attendees in white in a satsang setting.

Indoor photo of a satsang hall with pale pink walls and a maroon curtain. A man in a white dhoti and white shawl stands at right, leaning backward with his head tilted up and arms slightly raised, while a shaven-headed man in white kneels behind him, supporting his back. Seated on maroon mats at left are about six men in saffron-orange robes with white forehead and body markings, several with shaved heads, plus a woman in red at lower left. A microphone on a stand and a camera tripod appear at right, with incense and offering trays visible on the floor behind.

Nearby, a man in white with a white shawl sits cross-legged, and seated devotees in orange and white robes line both sides. Decorated multicolour cloth pillars with orange tassels hang from the ceiling, and a framed portrait hangs on the wall. A tripod-mounted camera stands at the left.

A photograph of a seated congregation in white dhotis and shawls, many with shaved heads, viewed from behind in the foreground of a hall. On a raised stage, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes faces the audience in front of an ornate deity shrine decorated with red and white drapery, a golden arched backdrop and a lit altar. Other people in white sit around the stage area, and video cameras on tripods stand at the right edge. The atmosphere suggests a satsang discourse. The saffron-robed figure is shown from a distance and no reliable identity can be established from appearance.

A stage event at a hall with a deep red velvet curtain backdrop and a white circular platform in the centre. A central figure in orange-saffron robes with a garland stands on the platform while a woman in a cream and orange sari with a saffron shawl reaches toward him. Several men in white dhotis and kurtas stand around the stage, some with hands folded in namaste, and a white-clad figure kneels at the platform's edge. A camera on a tripod stands at the right, and a large dense audience of seated people in white fills the foreground. A colourful painted pillar stands at the upper right edge.

A seated group of devotees with eyes closed during a satsang or meditation gathering on a blue-striped mat. In the foreground, a bespectacled man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a lanyard badge sits with hands folded. Beside him, a man in white with vertical tilak on his forehead sits with eyes closed, and a bald man in white looks down. On the right, a bare-chested man with white ash markings on his arms and forehead wears a white dhoti and red cloth. A child is blurred in the lower foreground, and other seated people are visible in the background.

A photograph of a seated satsang in a hall with white marble floor and pale pink walls. Rows of devotees in white clothes sit cross-legged on striped red-and-white mats, most facing a raised stage at the far end. A lone man in a dark brown shirt and white dhoti sits in the foreground, back to the camera. On the stage, a figure in orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne beside a gold-framed deity murti, with attendants in white around them. A large projector screen hangs above, flanked by orange and blue banners, and a camera on a tripod films the stage.
