A row of seated men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas sit at a satsang or meditation gathering. The nearest man, on the right, has a gold tilak on his forehead and wears a gold-bordered orange shawl, with rudraksha beads across his chest and a beaded bracelet. The man beside him also has a gold tilak and multiple rudraksha malas. Left-side figures wear red-orange shawls and beaded bracelets, with hands folded or resting near their chests. Behind them is a pale green draped table with a wall of printed black-and-white photographs of many people pinned to a wall. Mineral water bottles sit on the floor at the lower left.

The foreground man in the centre has hands pressed together in namaste with white vibhuti stripes on his arms and forehead, and the man at right has hands clasped in his lap. Before the rows, banana leaf plates hold sweets, fried snacks and cups. Other people in white are seated in the background.

Several shaved-headed men in saffron-orange and rust-brown robes with gold-bordered shawls stand before a bright red backdrop. Many wear rudraksha malas; some have white sandalwood or ash markings on arms and chest, and one has a yellow-orange tilak on his forehead. A central man in glasses, bare-shouldered with a rudraksha mala, rests his hand on his chest, while another man on the right holds green leaves and bows his head. A bare-chested man at the right edge in orange cloth also has a mala. Appearance cues do not establish that any of them is a person, so no candidate is identified.

Four shaved-headed men in saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged on a floor in a temple hall, with white ash markings on their arms and foreheads and rudraksha malas around their necks. The man in front right wears gold earrings and a red kumkum dot, and sits with hands folded in his lap. Behind them are an orange curtain, a seated devotee in a white headband, and a few other people, with banana leaves and cups in the lower left. The group appears to be attending a satsang or ritual gathering.

The man in the centre holds a black microphone to his mouth and speaks while wearing spectacles. Beside him, a smiling man with a yellow forehead mark sits with folded hands. Two posters on the red backdrop show a temple image and a quote, and marigold garlands are visible on the right. Several people in the foreground are cut off at the edges, and the audience is partly visible at the bottom.
