Several saffron-robed monastics sit cross-legged in a hall, eyes closed or lowered in meditation. In the foreground, a bald man in round glasses wears orange robes, a long rudraksha mala and a red bindi, hands clasped. Beside him, a younger man with a white tripundra on his forehead wears orange robes and a rudraksha mala, holding an open book on his lap. Behind them, a man in white dhoti with a white tripundra and other seated devotees fill the background, with a blue plate and a stone pillar visible in front.

A bald man with white sacred ash stripes on his forehead and arms, red bindi, and wire-rimmed glasses sits in front of a group of seated devotees in red and saffron robes. He wears long rudraksha mala strands across his chest, a dark pendant necklace, and an orange-saffron shawl, holding an incense stick in one hand and a small brass vessel in the other during a ritual. Youth in red robes and white forehead markings sit around him with ritual items and brass bells; behind them, people in white dhotis sit on red mats.
