Indoor hall with a colourful striped floor mat in red, green, blue and purple. A bearded man in a loose saffron-orange robe sits in a wooden armchair with hands resting on his lap, a brass-like plate of offerings on a small table beside him. Next to him a man in white kurta and light cream dhoti sits with a wristwatch. On the right a bearded man wears a deep maroon robe with gold border, an orange turban, rudraksha mala and orange shawl, seated on a wooden chair. A standing young man on the left wears a white dhoti with gold border, bare-chested with a rudraksha mala. Two older men in white shirts sit in the background, a pink parasol stands behind, and a ceremonial umbrella and speaker equipment are visible.

A seated audience at a satsang hall with orange walls and posters on the back wall. In the foreground, three men in saffron-orange shawls sit in folding chairs; the man on the far left has yellow tilak on his forehead, the man in the centre has a yellow-marked forehead under a draped orange cloth, and the man on the right wears an orange turban with a red tilak and a rudraksha mala. Behind them, men in white shirts and a man in red headwear sit attentively, and a standing man at the top right, holding a camera, wears a white kurta. The scene reads as a devotee gathering during a discourse.

A crowded indoor gathering under a tent with orange and red fabric panels, where dozens of seated sannyasis and devotees in saffron and orange robes listen attentively. In the right foreground a bearded man in orange robes and a white shawl holds a rudraksha mala and a small book, while a man in an orange cap and orange robes sits nearby. Behind them, a trident hangs on a pole beside printed photo collages of deities and sacred images. Many seated people in the wider crowd wear white, grey or brown caps and shawls. No candidate is confidently identifiable from appearance, so the a person field remains unsure.
