A seated audience of men in an indoor hall, most wearing white dhotis or kurtas with orange saffron shawls draped over their shoulders. The front row includes a man with grey hair writing in a notebook, a man with red tilak on his forehead holding a small object, a man in a grey kurta with folded hands holding a red-and-gold cloth bundle, and a man with a moustache and red mark in white dhoti with folded hands. Additional men sit behind them, some in shirts, and saffron-robed figures stand in the background near a red curtain and orange banner. No specific ritual is visible beyond the seated gathering.

A shaved-headed man in a rust-red dhoti with gold border and a rust-red shawl, wearing a rudraksha mala and bangles, stands at left draping a light green shawl over a man in glasses and dark trousers.

Rows of seated men attend a workshop in a bright hall with a polished white floor. In the foreground, a man in an orange shirt and jeans sits with a phone; beside him, a man in a white kurta wears a rudraksha mala. In the centre, a man in a white kurta and grey waistcoat sits with a hand to his chin, and a man in a grey shirt wears an orange-saffron shawl and wristwatch. Many attendees wear white, orange and blue shirts with name badges, and several are barefoot. A deity murti stands in an alcove at the top right. Some attendees are seated in plastic chairs, watching attentively.

A seated audience at a satsang listens attentively in rows of cushioned chairs. Most men wear white kurta or shirts and cream trousers with red-and-maroon shawls draped over their shoulders. A man on the left wears glasses, a white kurta and a beaded mala, and another in the foreground has his arms crossed. Several attendees wear lanyard badges. Behind them, a framed photo and a wall of printed posters fill the background, and a saffron-robed figure appears in a picture at the upper right. No speaker's face is shown, and no one in the scene is identified.

A seated audience in an indoor hall with wooden doors and cream walls, listening attentively. Foreground, a bare-chested priest with white sacred ash marks on his arms and forehead wears a saffron cloth and a rudraksha mala. Beside him, a man in a light blue shirt and jeans sits with hands clasped. A man in an orange-red kurta with a rudraksha mala and pendant sits in the centre with eyes half-closed, his white dhoti bordered in gold. To the right, a white-clad figure with braided hair, sacred ash on the arms and a gold-bordered white shawl sits with folded hands. Several men in white shirts and dhotis fill the rows behind, with a small red book on a chair in the foreground. The people in the scene are visible; no caption or name is printed on the image itself.

A seated audience in a hall with cream walls and framed pictures, most attendees in white or light shirts and dhotis, facing forward toward an unseen speaker. In the foreground five men sit in black chairs with red seat cushions: on the left a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha-style mala, next a man in an orange shirt holding a phone, then a man in a pink checked shirt with a wristwatch, a man in a grey t-shirt with a white bead bracelet and necklace, and on the right a man in a maroon shirt with a name badge and white dhoti with blue border. Another person stands in the background near a doorway. No identifiable figure in the scene is a person, so the scene shows only devotees.

A seated devotee in an orange head wrap, orange sleeveless top and orange wrap, with a dark rudraksha mala, sits in a large orange armchair with his bare feet resting on an orange footstool. Rows of men in white shirts and trousers, some in dark trousers, sit in chairs beside and behind him, several with hands at their chins or holding papers. A standing crowd fills the background of a hall with pink walls, a red curtain and a white metal fan in the foreground. Scattered petals cover the floor and a water bottle sits near the seats. The clothing and seating suggest a satsang discourse setting.
