A photograph of a devotional puja inside a room with a white cloth on the floor. Several seated devotees with palms pressed together face a framed portrait on the right, garlanded with white and pink flowers. The portrait shows a smiling figure in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha-style bead necklace, seated before a tree trunk, though the portrait is a printed picture, not a physical person. In the foreground a man in an orange kurta kneels with folded hands, and a woman in a maroon and cream sari sits with her back to the camera, wearing a dark bead mala. Offerings on the cloth include bananas, fruit, a lit oil lamp, flower petals, a kalasha-like brass vessel, kumkum and incense sticks. Around six people are visible, mostly women in cream and blue saris, plus men in white shirts seated at the back.

A photograph of a projection screen showing a live satsang feed in an indoor hall with white walls and fluorescent lighting. In the main feed, a crowd of devotees sits on the floor in white and light clothing, many with hands folded, while a man in a grey shirt stands near the centre and a woman in white kneels in front. A dark round cushion with gold ring motifs is visible at left. In the lower-left inset, a deity murti or framed image shows a figure with a crown and a red-and-gold garment in front of a gold halo. Projection haze and blur soften the scene.
