Wide view from the back of a large hall toward a stage with a dark maroon curtain, decorated with colourful tasselled hangings along the ceiling. A long central aisle marked with yellow lines divides rows of seated devotees, mostly in white clothes, many on white and blue plastic chairs. On the stage, several people in white garments stand and sit near potted plants, and a camera on a tripod is set up near the aisle. Some people at the left edge stand near the stage in white.

Large crowd of devotees dressed in white seated on the floor and on white plastic chairs facing a dark stage inside a white tent pavilion. Yellow lines mark an aisle down the concrete floor; some attendees sit on striped mats. Decorative hanging banners with tassels and a tripod-mounted camera stand in the aisle. Several figures in white are gathered on the stage. Visible copyright and source text overlay the lower right corner of the photo.

A large tented hall filled with many devotees seated on the floor and in white plastic chairs, most dressed in white clothing, with some women in saffron or orange and maroon saris. Tall cylindrical pillars wrapped in colourful patterned fabric line the tent, and a yellow banner hangs at upper left. At the far end a small raised stage with a red curtain holds a figure seated on a white-draped seat, but the figure is too small and distant to identify. Loudspeakers are mounted on the frames and the scene looks like a satsang or discourse session.

Photograph of a large indoor hall during a seated gathering. Hundreds of devotees dressed in white sit in rows of white plastic chairs and on the floor, facing a raised stage at the far end. On the stage, a figure in orange robes sits on a white-draped seat with a garland, appearing to address the assembly; the figure's appearance is not clearly distinguishable at this resolution. Dark red drapery hangs behind the stage, with orange and yellow tassel decorations and a colourful patterned banner hanging from the ceiling tent frame. Small side tables display framed pictures near the stage. Lighting is dim, and a sound and camera rig is visible at the left edge.
