A large seated group of devotees meditates with eyes closed inside a bright hall with a tiled floor. Most wear white shirts or kurtas, while some younger attendees wear orange, red and striped shirts. In the foreground a man in a white shirt sits cross-legged with hands in a meditation mudra, and a man in a maroon t-shirt and white dhoti-style pants sits beside him with eyes closed. A bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a golden border sits at right with head bowed. Several men wear rudraksha malas and vibhuti. Standing figures in white and a woman in a red sari appear at the back, near folding chairs and a water bottle. No identifiable a person figure is visible.

A large hall filled with seated devotees during a satsang, with many men in white dhotis and white shirts sitting cross-legged on orange and maroon mats. Several young men in white dhotis wear rudraksha malas, and some hold small brass vessels. Women in saris and salwar kameez sit among the crowd, and a few devotees wear dark or colourful shirts. Hanging orange and yellow decorations line the upper edge of the hall, and smoke or incense haze drifts through the air. The frontal dais and deity area are visible at the upper left. The atmosphere is that of an ashram satsang gathering on a morning event.

A seated audience fills a hall with folded blue-and-red striped mats and stacked bedding in the background, with pink curtains at the top left. Many young boys and men sit cross-legged on the floor, most in plain shirts, white dhotis and white kurtas. Several wear rudraksha malas, and some boys have sacred ash or kumkum marks on their foreheads. Some look down, some hold phones, and a bearded man in an orange-brown jacket sits near the centre. A figure in white sits at the far left. No single speaker or deity is clearly visible; the scene reads as a satsang-style gathering.
