Outdoor photograph of a seated sannyasi in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap, wearing a rudraksha mala and a gold-bordered orange shawl, speaking to a group sitting cross-legged on a grey paved terrace in front of a low brick wall. Several women in white and light blue saris and salwar sit facing him, some with hands folded. A bearded man in white sits at the left edge, and a brass lamp stand and a small wooden box with offerings sit near the wall. A blue-grey carrying case rests on the pavement in the foreground. Grass and rocks rise behind the wall, with two people standing at the top left.

A small outdoor group sits cross-legged in a circle on a stone-paved courtyard beside potted green plants and rough stones. A woman in a cream sari with a pendant necklace gestures with her hands while speaking, and beside her a woman in white with a rust-coloured shawl and rudraksha malas listens. Young people in white clothes and a dark-haired student in a black scarf and white top sit around them, one in a blue striped shirt in the foreground. No a person candidate is visibly identifiable here.

A photograph taken at night of a seated circle of about twenty people on woven mats on a pale open ground, with a white shrine structure with a dark murti and garland at the upper left. In the foreground, a man with a shaved head wears an orange shawl over white clothes and sits with his back to the camera. Around the circle, participants wear white kurtas and salwar, a red shawl, yellow shawls, and a pale blue top, with several people wearing mala beads. Many have hands resting on their knees in a meditative posture. The scene suggests a group meditation or satsang session.
