Outdoor gathering of many people seated on colourful striped woven mats on reddish-brown earth beneath trees. Most attendees wear white kurta-style clothing with red-and-saffron shawls or scarves, and a few carry orange bags. Rows of people sit on the ground while others sit on chairs at the right edge. Behind them are rubble stone piles, a red-painted structure and a tripod-mounted camera. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so no specific figure is singled out.

Outdoor gathering of many devotees seated on colourful striped mats in an open dirt field with dry grass and a low pile of old bricks behind them.

In the foreground a bearded man with a light line on his forehead sits cross-legged beside a man with glasses, and a woman in front holds a water bottle. Some devotees wear vibhuti or sandalwood marks on their foreheads. No deity murti or a person candidate is clearly identifiable in the frame.

Behind them, more participants in white and red-orange stand and walk along a shaded path, and a cameraman with a video camera films the scene on the right. Some figures wear red-orange robes near the back. The scene suggests a ritual or satsang gathering, with participants arranged in rows on the ground.

Many devotees sit on the grass and in chairs, mostly women and men dressed in white or cream kurtas and tunics with rust-orange shawls draped over their shoulders. Several wear rudraksha or bead malas and bangles. Some wear glasses, and a few have grey or white hair. Warm string lights glow in the lower right corner. The camera is focused on the front rows, and no speaker or a person candidate is clearly visible in the frame, so no identity claim is made.

Many wear white kurtas or saris and some have rudraksha malas around their necks; a woman in front has red-tinted hair and a red mat, and a boy in white sits on a mat at right. A man in glasses in the lower left wears a dark mala over white. No single figure is singled out as a leader, and no ornate saffron-clad figure is visible. A small white flower lies on the red cloth near the front.
