Devotees sit on the floor in a plain whitewashed hall for a group chanting session. A woman in a white sari with a microphone on a stand leads at the centre of a red-draped seat, while women in red and maroon saris and girls in orange, red and pink dress sit around her holding open books. Several girls in bright silk outfits and bindis sit cross-legged on striped mats. At the front, a white cloth holds small lamps and a brass bowl with flower petals. A white-haired woman in an orange shawl and a woman in a grey top sit to the right. Flower-patterned curtains hang on the sides.

Indoor devotional gathering seated on a red mat in a plain white-walled room with a barred window. Several girls and young women sit cross-legged in red, orange and white traditional dress with bangles and necklaces; the central woman in a white sari with a pink border and a rudraksha-style mala, a pink-bordered white cloth over one shoulder, sits before a microphone stand. An older woman in an orange shawl at right reads from a book. Flower petals are scattered over white cloth and brass vessels in the foreground. No a person candidate is visible in the scene.

Outdoor-style covered hall with corrugated metal roof decorated with strings of white flower buds hanging overhead. Several men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls stand along a raised platform holding large brass aarti lamps with flaming wicks, while a man in white with an orange shawl also raises a lamp at left. In the foreground, women in white sarees with gold borders sit on a mat with rows of brass oil lamps and small bells, some raising their arms in worship. The scene reads as a lamp-lighting aarti or puja ceremony.

A seated congregation of young men and boys in white ritual clothes sits on woven mats inside a whitewashed hall with barred windows. Several men wear white dhotis and shirts, and some have white shoulder cloths. Behind them, women in colourful salwar kameez sit on the left. A figure in orange robes sits far back near a wall hanging with a bird motif. Brass bells sit at the lower left, and a small wooden stand with a laptop is visible. The scene suggests a satsang or Navaratri gathering at Aadikailaasa. The seated figure in orange at the back is too distant and small for a reliable appearance-based identification.

Students in saffron and orange robes sit cross-legged on a stone-floored temple veranda, many holding plates of sweets or offerings. In the foreground a woman in orange sari holds a plate of food. A large bronze vessel filled with white flower petals sits at centre. Behind them, a tall dark-skinned figure in an orange robe sits on a raised platform at a wooden desk with papers, near brass lamps, trident-topped ritual stands and hanging brass bells. Columns with white wrapping and a potted tree frame the open courtyard. A man in white dhoti and shawl stands at left. The scene appears to be a gurukul inauguration or ritual gathering.
