A photograph of a projection screen showing a live satsang hall with a woman in a pale pink outfit walking across white floor cloths near the front. Behind her, a crowd sits on the floor and on chairs, many dressed in white, with a few men in grey and blue. Red cushions, folded garments, flowers and a small poster reading SLOVAKIA - Shivalokam lie on the cloths. Purple curtains hang in the background. The screen displays the image, which is the only visible source of the scene.

A photo of a video screen showing a group of people in a room, most wearing white clothing. A woman in the foreground with short dark hair and a white lace top presses her palms together in greeting. Beside her, a man in a white shirt with a dark headscarf smiles and claps. A woman with long blonde hair in a white top raises her hand toward a man in a white shirt holding a phone, while others stand behind them. A handwritten paper sign on a blue chair reads SLOVAKIA. Blue chairs and a small table with a bottle fill the background.

A blurry indoor satsang hall with a crowd seated on the floor and on chairs. In the centre, a man in white clothes sits cross-legged with both hands raised above his head in a prayer gesture. Around him, devotees wear white kurtas and white attire, with some in orange and saffron robes seated in the background on a raised platform. A man in a yellow-green shirt sits in the foreground, and bottles of water are visible on the floor.

A hall of seated and standing devotees dressed in white kurtas and white dhotis at a meditation camp. In the foreground a figure with long dark hair and a white kurta stands with hands joined, facing the crowd. A man in a white t-shirt with a printed image and a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala sit nearby. Above the doorway hangs a framed portrait of a smiling man in white with a white turban and garland. Tall windows with latticed grilles light the room.

A photograph of a projected screen showing a split view of two rooms during a live-linked satsang. On the left, a group of people stand with palms pressed together in greeting, including a woman in white with a placard reading SLOVAKIA on a blue chair, a man in a white polo shirt and jeans, and a woman in a patterned shawl. On the right, a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure hangs on a white wall beside an Om symbol, with empty wooden chairs in a row and a woman in a green top seated on the floor.

A crowd of devotees in white clothing sits in a hall with arms raised high in a yoga or meditation session. Many wear white kurta-style shirts and white head coverings, with some women in white saris; several wear gold bangles and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. Their eyes are closed and palms face forward in an uplifted posture. In the upper left corner, a painted or printed image shows a figure in saffron robes, but it is a depiction on the wall, not a clearly identifiable person present. The room has a floor covered with colourful mats and a wooden stage behind the participants.

A photograph of a hall with a pale tiled wall, a metal-sheet ceiling and yellow floor markings. Many people in white clothing mill about and stand in groups; several men wear white kurta-style outfits and sandals, and a woman in white has a dark lanyard. A teal banner on the right wall shows a large portrait of a bearded figure wearing a white turban, partly obscured by people. Some attendees in the foreground are in white, and a lighter-coloured figure stands centre. The scene looks like a gathering or convention session in progress.

A group of people dressed in white clothing stands and moves in a hall with pale walls and a concrete floor. In the foreground, a woman with a blonde ponytail and another with curly yellow hair face away from the camera, while a man with a rudraksha-style mala stands with his back turned. A bald man in white reaches out to take the hands of others in a circle. Two large banners hang on the walls: one shows a man in a white turban and a yellow-bordered text panel, and a smaller teal banner shows a figure in a white head covering. Several people wear dark beaded necklaces. Lattice vents sit high on the walls.
