A seated crowd of devotees fills an open-sided tent with a blue tarp roof and white pillars, sitting on red mats in a sattvic gathering. Most wear white shirts or kurtas and dhotis, while some wear blue shirts or a green-and-white sari. Several men in front have hands folded in namaste, and a younger man in the centre wears a white kurta with a red tilak on his forehead. A man on the right wears a saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulder with a rudraksha mala. A stage with a blue tarp and red cloth sits in the background, and a yellow and multicolour banner hangs at the top right. No central figure on the dais is clearly visible.

Night photograph of a devotional ceremony under a striped tent canopy with a green and white edge, a banana plant with green bananas tied to a pole at left, and a brass oil lamp at right. In the foreground a man wearing an orange turban, orange shawl and white flower garland sits with hands folded on a wicker seat, facing a seated group. Beside him a bearded man in a white dhoti and orange shawl sits with hands joined, followed by women in white saris with red borders and gold necklaces, one holding a flower garland, all seated on a red and white mat. Behind them many men in white dhotis and shirts stand with palms pressed together, and a small boy in white kneels at lower left. The tent is lit by a dim, warm light.

A large crowd of devotees sits cross-legged on a red mat under a tent canopy with colourful patterned fabric. Most wear white clothing, and many men wear white shirts and white dhotis, with lanyards around their necks. Gold and red draped curtains line the back of the tent, and a few women in white and orange saris sit near the front. The scene looks like a gathering or satsang session with attentive seated participants.

A large seated gathering of women in white saris with gold borders sits on mats under a tent with striped canopy edges and hanging string lights. Many wear gold necklaces and bangles; some hold bags and water bottles. A woman in a blue top stands at the left edge, and men in white shirts stand along the back. The crowd is attentive, facing forward toward an unseen speaker.

A photograph of a large seated congregation inside a white tent with a red carpet. Women in saris and men in light shirts sit in rows, many with folded hands or seated in prayer. A man with a grey beard and white garment stands near the front-left, and a standing figure in a white shirt appears at the upper right. In the foreground left, a brass oil lamp and a wooden stand sit beside floral offerings on plates. Several women wear red, pink, orange and purple saris. Tall patio heaters stand among the seated rows. No one at the front is shown in saffron or crown cues clearly enough to identify a person candidate.

Night outdoor ceremony under a striped canopy decorated with banana stalks and hanging strings. A young man in an orange turban, orange garment and white flower garland sits on a low raised seat at the centre. Around him, rows of devotees in white dhotis and shirts sit or stand with palms pressed together. A woman in a white sari with a gold-bordered hem and a jasmine-garlanded brass oil lamp stand at right foreground are visible. A bearded man in an orange shawl sits among the seated group. A figure at left foreground with grey hair sits facing the scene with hands joined. Marigolds lie on the mat. The setting looks like a ceremonial gathering on a sandy ground.
