A photograph of an outdoor-covered courtyard discourse with a seated teacher in orange and saffron robes with long, swept-back hair and a microphone, gesturing toward a large white chart with handwritten text held up before a seated audience. A large ornate deity murti decorated with red garlands and gold ornaments sits at left beside stone pillars. Many seated devotees fill the floor, including women in colourful saris and salwar, men in white kurtas and dhotis, and a woman in a light blue top. Some people stand in the background near tree foliage and a wooden shrine cabinet. The scene reads as a satsang session in an ashram courtyard.

A seated group gathers in a red-walled courtyard pavilion beside a large painted deity murti of Ganesha, with ornate gold and red garments and a raised trunk. In the foreground a bare-shouldered figure with long dark hair wears an orange cloth and holds a microphone toward the group, seen mostly from behind. Nearby a young woman in a white and gold dress sits on a patterned mat, a girl in a green top and orange skirt sits beside her, and women in saffron, white and yellow saris sit on the floor. A small offering table with flowers and brass items and a white cloth stands in front of a woman in white. A red umbrella and wooden pillars frame the scene.

A seated group of devotees gathers on a stone floor in front of a shrine, many facing a man in a rust-orange robe holding a microphone and speaking. Some women wear orange, pink, green and red saris, and several men wear white dhotis with rudraksha malas. A small figure in a dark shirt sits to the right. At the upper right, a deity murti draped in orange and garlanded stands near a wooden stand. Behind the group, several people in orange and white stand near pillars and a fan. Several people sit with their heads turned toward the speaker, with a palanquin-style wooden frame at left.

Around him sit a seated circle of about two dozen devotees, many women in saffron, orange, yellow and teal saris and salwars, and men in white kurtas. A tall staff leans at the left edge. Behind them stands an ornate deity murti decorated with red flowers and garlands, and a carved stone pillar frames the scene. Several people in the back are photographing the gathering.

Devotees sit on the floor of a red-draped hall in a seated puja gathering around a gilded throne. A person in an orange-red turban and orange robe, with a long garland and gold necklace, sits on the ornate golden throne at the upper right, while seated devotees in white dhotis, saffron shawls and rudraksha malas face them. Several women in saris and salwars hold brass thalis of offerings, and a tall brass oil lamp stands at left beside a tripod-mounted camera. A gold-trimmed peetha table lies in front of the throne, with ritual plates and flames in the foreground.

A bearded man with long curly hair and a white forehead mark, wearing an orange-brown wrap and bracelets, sits on a stone plinth at left, facing a seated group. Before him stands a low table with a cup, a small bowl and water bottles, on an orange mat. Several women in saris and white kurtas sit on steps, some holding up large white paper sheets covered in handwritten notes. A woman in a blue-and-green sari sits near a row of small brass deity murtis and kalasha-style figures. Other attendees in white, orange and yellow outfits with lanyards sit along the back.

A bearded man in an orange-red wrap stands near the centre, in front of a large red-and-gold deity murti of a seated elephant-headed figure with a trunk. Around him, a circle of devotees sits on the stone floor, many in white dress, a few in saffron, yellow, green and pink; some wear garlands and a woman has a long red-brown braid. A green-clad elderly woman and a bald man in white sit in the foreground. Ornate wooden swing or palanquin frames, hanging brass lamps and a plastic water bottle are visible. The scene suggests a satsang or teaching session.
