Interior photo of a temple hall with a polished light marble floor and black border lines. In the foreground, a group of about ten seated devotees face the shrine: a woman in a yellow-and-orange saree with a long braid, a man in a yellow shirt, a man in a white shirt, a man in a checked shirt, a woman in orange, a man in a red top, and a person in black at the right. Closer on the left, a child in a teal top stands, a man in a brown checked shirt sits, a woman in a pink saree with a black blouse sits, and a man in a pink shirt sits cross-legged, with a woman in white at the far right beside a black bag. Beyond stainless steel crowd barriers, devotees in saree and white clothes approach a lit shrine with a deity murti and a hanging lamp, and a small television screen hangs above the entrance. The scene is a worship area with stone pillars and a ceiling fan at the right edge.

A photograph of devotees seated on a polished reddish-brown stone floor inside a white temple hall, facing a shrine. Several people sit in rows with their backs to the camera, including a man in a striped red and white shirt in the foreground, men in white shirts, and a man in a light olive kurta with bare feet. A woman in a pink sari sits at the right. Two tall orange-robed attendant figures flank the central shrine, which holds a lit deity murti in an illuminated niche with oil lamps. A small wooden seat sits on a red rug at right. Visible people number about fifteen, and no identifiable a person figure is clearly present.

Photograph of a large covered hall during a festival event, with a long red carpet running down the centre between metal railings. Hundreds of seated devotees fill both sides, many in white and pastel clothing, with some children and women with white flowers in their hair. At the far end, a decorated stage with floral garlands and hanging yellow leaf strings shows several robed figures in orange and saffron standing near a deity murti setup. Two men in white stand at a glass counter on the left, and the walls display banners and framed panels.

Indoor photo of a satsang hall with white pillars and a white ceiling with recessed lights. Devotees sit on red carpets facing a central stage area, where a television screen and a small monitor are set on a low wooden table in front of a large glass panel bearing a gold Om symbol. Several people are seated cross-legged in white and light-coloured clothes, including a woman in a white salwar in the foreground right and women in pink and yellow saris. A portrait sits on the right wall. Overall the scene shows a seated gathering watching a screen during a satsang session.

A large hall filled with seated devotees on white flooring, viewed from the back. Most attendees wear white or pastel clothes; women in saris sit to the right, men in white shirts and dhotis to the left. A central aisle leads to a raised stage with a gold-and-yellow ornate seat and a red-curtained backdrop, where a figure sits in front. Hanging striped kalasha-like decorations with tassels line the ceiling, and two projector screens flank the stage.

A large seated audience of devotees fills a hall, viewed from behind a row of silver stanchions. Most wear white clothes, with several women in white saris with coloured borders and some in pink, orange and green saris. A woman in a white sari with a long braid and white flower sits prominently in the foreground, and a young child is held nearby. On the stage at the far end, a richly decorated, golden-lit altar with a deity murti and ornate pillars is visible, with projection screens on either side. Looks like a satsang gathering with devotees seated on the floor.

Several people in the foreground wear light blue shirts, a green salwar with a dupatta, and white kurtas. Flanking the entrance are two orange-robed figures, and a framed portrait of a figure in orange robes hangs on the back wall beside a golden statue. Ceiling fans, hanging lamps and a white pillared arcade complete the setting, with a dark night sky visible through the open side.

Wide view inside a temple hall with a golden shrine at the front holding a seated deity murti flanked by standing figures and an ornate golden peetha. Rows of devotees sit on a polished white floor: men bare-chested in white dhotis with sacred threads, women in white saris with gold borders, and several men in saffron-orange robes seated at the right. A small child in a navy top stands among the seated crowd, and a toddler sits in white near the front. Two large screens on either side show a seated figure in red and white. Red drapes, ceiling fans and an oil lamp on the floor complete the scene.
