A packed indoor satsang hall where a large seated audience of devotees fills the floor on colourful striped mats. Most men wear white dhotis and kurtas, some with saffron or red shawls, rudraksha malas and forehead marks; a few wear coloured shirts. A man in the front centre has a vibhuti or sandal mark and a rudraksha mala, and a man on the right wears a white angavastram over bare skin. Many people are seated with eyes closed or looking forward, attending a discourse. Paper name badges hang on several chests. A pink wall, a small framed picture and a stage-like backdrop appear behind the crowd, with a mounted screen at the far left. No a person candidate is clearly visible in the crowd.

A seated assembly of devotees in a hall during a satsang or discourse. In the foreground, a man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala with a gold pendant sits with palms pressed together in prayer, beside a shaved-headed man in white with gold-bordered dhoti and vibhuti on his forehead. Rows of white-clad devotees sit on striped mats behind them, with a few in orange, and more people seated at the back of the hall. Metal stanchions divide the seating area and a red-orange cloth hangs on the left. Many attendees wear white kurtas or dhotis and some carry rudraksha malas. No one is clearly identifiable as a person from the visible cues alone.

A large outdoor tent congregation seated on green mats during a satsang. In the foreground, a man in orange robes with a beaded necklace sits at left beside several men in white dhotis and shawls with rudraksha malas and forehead markings. Behind them rows of seated devotees, including women in saris and shawls, fill the space. A camera on a tripod and a standing man in white are visible at the top left, and a large banner hangs at the back of the tent. No one is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance here, so the figure's role is described only as a devotee-attended satsang.

Seated devotees fill a hall during a satsang, many sitting on striped mats. In the foreground a shaved-headed priest in saffron cloth with a gold necklace sits beside a bald man in white dhoti and shawl with gold trim, holding a gold necklace.

Many others in white shirts and dhotis, some with hands in anjali, sit behind them; metal crowd barriers and a yellow hanging fabric appear at the top right.

In the foreground, a man with a grey-streaked beard wears a white dhoti with gold border and armbands; beside him a younger man in white with a saffron-orange shawl and a rudraksha-style mala.
