A seated bhajan session in a temple hall with grey carpet and white walls. Musicians sit at the front right: a man in a dark kurta playing a harmonium, a boy beside him, and several men with cymbals and a tabla-style drum. Facing them, a group of devotees sits cross-legged on the floor, including women in saris, a woman in a red and gold outfit, a woman in a teal and beige sari, an older man in a grey shirt, and a man in white in the foreground. Behind them stands a golden peetha-style throne, a large painted tapestry of deities on the left, a mirror-framed shrine, a standing deity murti with a garland and a white-robed seated statue at the right edge. Photo shows about fifteen to twenty people visible.

A seated audience at an indoor meeting hall with grey chairs at the back and a red-carpeted floor in front. Many attendees sit on the carpet in traditional Indian dress: a woman in a magenta sari, a woman in a blue sari with gold trim, a woman in a pink-and-maroon sari, a man in a white kurta with a brown patterned shawl and a tilak on his forehead, and women in white and yellow outfits. Several people wear badge lanyards and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. Others sit on chairs in white kurtas and an orange tunic. The mood is attentive, with people looking toward the front of the room.

Indoor photo inside a temple hall with a grey carpet where a seated crowd of devotees faces a small group standing at the front. A bald man in white ritual clothing stands near a dark ornate shrine with a golden cabinet, white statues, and a painted ceremonial umbrella. A woman in a red-and-gold sari stands beside him and another woman in red stands nearby. Many seated people in sarees, kurtas and casual clothes, including a girl in pink and blue, a boy in a green shirt and a woman in a light blue sari, listen attentively. Ornate carved birds with bright painted colours and a large framed painting of deities hang on the wall to the right.

A seated audience of many devotees sits on grey carpet in a hall, facing right toward a row of colourful deity murtis on a raised platform against white walls. Most attendees wear white or light tops, with some in black, teal, and saffron-orange; several women wear head coverings and glasses. Along the left, a large ornate throne-like murti decorated with garlands and flowers stands beside a white cloth draped behind it. A wall clock is visible at upper centre. No single figure is clearly identifiable as the a person in this frame; the central seated figures are devotees with no distinctive a person cues, and the scene reads as a satsang-style discourse gathering.

A large indoor gathering of seated devotees, mostly women and some men, fills the hall in rows on the floor. Many wear white, orange, red, pink and blue saris and salwar with rudraksha-style malas, and several hold their hands in anjali or sit with eyes closed. Small brass lamps and offering plates are set on mats in front of them, and red curtains and a bookcase line the background. A cameraman stands at the upper right. No a person candidate is visible in the frame.
