Indoor satsang-style gathering in a hall with golden deity statues in arched niches, hanging paper lanterns and a screen showing a video in the upper left. A man with long swept-back hair, a dark-red-and-gold shawl and wrap, a red-and-white flower garland, a gold necklace and a rudraksha mala stands on the right, smiling and extending his hand to a row of shaved-headed young boys in orange robes with white forehead marks. On the left an older man in a white shirt with palms pressed together receives them. A woman in a brown sari stands at the far right and a red box of apples and sweets sits in the lower right foreground. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace, rudraksha mala and garland.

A hall with a stage backdrop showing a deity murti in a decorated shrine arch, maroon curtains and a large screen. In the centre, a man in an orange-saffron head wrap, layered gold and orange-yellow dhoti-style cloth, and long rudraksha mala necklaces raises one hand in blessing while holding a folded white paper. Beside him, a man in a red vest and white clothes stands with palms joined in greeting. To the left, a man with glasses and a rudraksha mala listens. Behind them, saffron-robed attendants and a woman in an orange sari with glasses stand near stanchions. A tray of red apples is visible at lower right.

Photograph of a devotional gathering at an indoor hall with a large painted backdrop of deity murtis and gold-framed shrine imagery. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes, wearing a layered beaded necklace and a gold armband, stands at center, reaching out to shake the hand of a devotee. Beside him, a sannyasi in orange cloth with bare upper torso holds a pink tray filled with red apples and offerings. Several devotees in casual shirts lean over a metal barrier, one holding a small red-and-gold object. A camera operator is visible behind. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial bead necklaces, though the figure is partly turned away.

A seated man with long dark hair, wearing a rust-red shawl over his bare shoulders and multiple rudraksha malas, smiles while reaching toward a cardboard box of red fruit held by a young boy in orange robes. Three boys in saffron-orange robes stand nearby with white ash markings on their foreheads and bodies, one with palms pressed together in greeting. Behind them, an orange curtain with green trim and a framed red-and-gold deity print of Shiva and Ganesha is decorated with red flowers. Bottom-left, an elderly bald person's head is partly visible in the foreground.

Indoor photo of a satsang-style gathering in a hall with red curtains, colourful striped pillars and a gold throne-like seat with a stand in the background. A man in a long-sleeved white shirt bows forward and offers a red apple to a central figure with long dark hair swept back, a white tilak, a pink-and-white flower garland and a rudraksha mala, wearing an orange-saffron wrap and smiling. Around them, several men in saffron dhotis with rudraksha malas stand watching, and other attendees in dark and pink shirts stand behind. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, garland and rudraksha mala cues, and is receiving the apple from the man in white.
