A large seated audience of devotees fills a hall at a satsang. Most women wear white or cream sarees and some wear coloured saris in orange, green, and blue. Many have name badges pinned to their clothes. In the foreground a woman in an orange saree sits beside a woman in a white saree, and to the right a woman in a blue floral saree sits with her eyes closed. Steel crowd barriers and a water bottle stand along the right edge, and a red banner hangs on the back wall.

Rows of attendees sit cross-legged on a light tiled floor, facing forward toward an unseen speaker, under wooden lattice windows with bright sunlight. Some older women in front wear orange and yellow saris; a few stand at the back near a white draped structure and a yellow banner at the top left.

A photograph of a crowded, plainly furnished room with pink walls and barred windows, where a group of people stand and share refreshments. In the foreground, a man in a white t-shirt and orange-bordered dhoti faces a woman in a white sari with gold border, a rudraksha-style black bead mala and a pink sash, holding a basket of bananas and white sweets and a tray of small cups. Several women in white saris with gold borders, one in a yellow shawl, another in an orange-and-white sari, and a woman in a pink patterned sari holding a cup stand nearby, some drinking from paper cups. Metal wall fixtures and an open doorway are visible at right.

A seated group of about eight women meditate on thin mattresses arranged on a bare concrete hall floor, in a white-walled space with white plastic chairs along the back and two large portrait banners on the wall. The foreground woman in a loose white shawl and white clothing sits with eyes closed, hands resting in her lap. A woman in a grey patterned salwar and white dupatta with a rudraksha-style mala sits in the middle, and others wear white salwar or white kurta sets with beaded necklaces. Striped blue and red mats and a yellow floor line are visible. The banners show a woman in red and white with hands pressed together. No one stands as a speaker, and no clear a person candidate is visible among the seated participants.

A photograph of a seated group during a meeting or satsang in a plain pink-walled hall with white curtains and a red banner on the right. In the foreground a woman in a white sari with a gold border sits cross-legged holding a black handheld microphone, with a steel cup and open notebooks on the floor before her. Behind her many women sit on the floor, several wearing yellow-bordered white saris and others wearing orange or red shawls. An older woman in white with a yellow border sits to the right with her arms folded. A figure in orange robes is partly visible at the left edge. No man matching the a person description is visible, so no candidate is identified.

Handbags and a black backpack rest on the mat in front, and the attendees look toward the front of the hall where the event is taking place.
