A small child in blue sits in the middle of the group. Along the back wall hangs a framed portrait of a smiling figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala. Several people stand along the left side of the room, including a woman in a blue sari, and a figure in orange appears near the back right. Air conditioners are mounted high on the walls.

A crowd of devotees with hands pressed in anjali stands in a plain whitewashed hall with a corrugated metal roof. In the centre, a figure in an orange sleeveless top and orange cloth receives a blessing, with another person in orange beside them and a hand touching the head of a devotee. A man in white with a yellow shawl stands at right holding a wooden tray of offerings. On the left wall hangs a framed poster of several photographs and an orange wall-mounted box is fixed above. Some devotees wear white shirts and dhotis, and a red-and-blue patterned cloth is draped on an older man. The scene reads as darshan and blessing, with the swami-like figure's identity uncertain from appearance alone.

A large white hall with ceiling fans and framed portraits along the walls shows a crowd of devotees gathered for a satsang. In the left foreground a man in an orange turban and orange sleeveless robe sits on a white cushioned seat, facing the room with his hands raised near the crowd. Many people in white clothes and white ritual garments with blue-and-white lanyard necklaces stand and sit around him, some folding hands in greeting. Women in sarees and children are among the gathered devotees. The man in orange with a turban and saffron robe is a probable Swamiji candidate by appearance, seated as the central speaker of the satsang.
