A large hall with a multicolored striped wall of red, yellow, green, blue and purple panels hosts a seated gathering of attendees dressed largely in white, sitting on white mats and cushions facing a raised stage. On the stage, a figure in a white robe sits on a white-draped seat flanked by flower arrangements and vases. Behind them hangs a banner reading Dhyana Spurana Program with a portrait of an older woman with short white hair. Lights on stands, a camera on a tripod, a projection screen on the left and a potted plant on the right complete the scene. Many attendees have their backs to the camera, some with white hair or head coverings. Water bottles sit on the floor in front.

Photo of an indoor hall event seen from behind the audience. On a raised stage, a figure in an orange robe with long dark hair sits on a cushioned chair beneath a banner labelled Dhyana Spura with a portrait; flowers, brass lamps and potted plants decorate the stage, and a camera on a tripod stands at left. Audience members in white clothes sit in rows facing the stage, with several people in pink and other tones visible in the foreground. The figure in orange has long hair and an orange robe with a visible sash, a person cue, though the appearance is uncertain at this distance.

A hall-style programme room with a seated audience on cushions and mats, many in white and orange clothing, some with backpacks and jackets beside them. A standing man in a white kurta holds a microphone and gestures toward the audience, positioned in front of a stage with a white-draped bed or couch, flower arrangements, and red, green and gold drapes. A banner reads "Dhyana Spurana Program" and a portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" hangs on a side wall, showing a figure in a white turban. A video camera on a tripod and small lighting stands are set up near the stage. The standing speaker is wearing white and appears to be a speaker or presenter; his identity is uncertain from appearance alone. Roughly two dozen people are visible.

A figure with long dark hair in a gold-patterned tunic and white dhoti sits cross-legged on a white-draped platform, gesturing with one hand.

Colourful silk drapes, potted orange, pink and white flowers, palm fronds and red and gold cushions decorate the stage. Studio lights stand at either side, and audience members' heads are visible at the bottom edge. A white floor fan stands to the right.

A photograph of an indoor Atma Spurana Program session in a carpeted hall with drop ceiling lights, beige walls and a fire exit sign. At the front, a person in an orange-red sari sits on an ornate gold-and-wood throne flanked by flower arrangements, while a white-garbed figure sits on a white ornate chair in the background beneath a large banner reading Atma Spurana Program. Audience members sit on chairs and white mats, including a person in white and a woman in a patterned orange top. A lighting stand and speaker stand stand at the left and a table with flowers and ritual items is at the right. A large printed portrait of a figure in white sits on the white throne at the front.

A woman with long dark hair in a red and white outfit sits on a cushioned seat near a small table, while a man in white garments stands beside her. A large crowd of mostly white-clad devotees sits on the floor and stands along the back wall, with a camera on a tripod in front. A tall framed portrait on the wall shows a man in a large white turban and saffron-toned clothing, labelled as a portrait, not a physical person. Several banners and a rainbow-coloured graphic hang in the background.
