Photograph of a seated group meditation or satsang in a large white tent with hanging woven decorations in orange, red and green. A figure in an orange head wrap and white clothing sits in a dark armchair at the far left, facing rows of people in white on a purple mat edged with a yellow border. Many devotees, mostly in white, sit cross-legged and attentively; one woman in an orange shawl sits in the foreground. Behind the group a dark backdrop displays framed portraits and a deity image, with a small brass figure on a table. A tripod and cable run along the floor.

A photo of a large tent hall at an ashram event, with a white canopy and hanging decorative banners in orange, red and multicolour with elephant-patterned panels. Rows of seated attendees in white clothes sit on white mats on a concrete floor, facing a front area. At left, two people in white sit on white chairs near a small table, one wearing white clothes, and a poster or board on an easel stands beside them showing a figure. A raised platform with a low table and flowers sits at the far end. Overall the scene looks like a discourse or satsang session. Some attendees are visible, partially obscured, and the seated group numbers roughly two dozen.

A large hall with a sandy floor and a tent-like ceiling hung with decorative fabric panels in red, black and orange. Dozens of seated attendees dressed in white clothes fill the floor, many with hands in prayer or resting on knees, facing a raised platform on the right. On the platform a figure in orange robes sits on a white chair, and a standing fan is at the edge of the frame. Large framed portraits hang on the back wall, and a black easel stands in front of the platform. The scene suggests a seminar session, with a teacher addressing an audience of roughly sixty to a hundred seated participants.

A dim hall with a tented ceiling and hanging decorative banners on the pillars shows a seated satsang in progress. On a white raised seat at left, a figure in orange robes speaks into a microphone on a stand, with a candidate for a person present but appearance uncertain. Rows of seated devotees fill the floor, many in white clothes with some in orange, several with hands raised or folded. A standing man in white with an orange shawl at the right edge holds a bowl near the front rows. Large portraits hang on the back wall, and a doorway at left shows uniformed men standing outside.

A photograph inside a white tented hall where a crowd of devotees sits cross-legged on blue floor mats, most dressed in white with a few in pale pink or orange. Large painted cylindrical banners in bright red, yellow, blue and green hang from the tent ceiling, and framed portrait photographs of a woman line the walls. On the right, a seated figure in orange robes sits on a raised platform in front of a gold-framed shrine with a decorative canopy, a gold-trimmed ceremonial setup and a low table with plants. The scene suggests a satsang or meditation gathering in the evening.
