A photograph of a tented gathering with several seated sadhus and devotees in orange and saffron clothing. In the foreground on the left, a bearded man in orange robes with a forehead mark sits and smiles, while a long-haired figure in a rudraksha-style bead necklace sits in the centre and gestures toward a metal tray with bananas and food. On the right, a figure in a maroon turban and brown shawl, with long dark hair, sits facing him. Behind them, a woman in a teal sari and gold necklace smiles, another woman in orange with a headscarf sits at right, and a man in a yellow polo shirt with a lanyard stands behind. A red-and-white plaid mat and a pink cushion are on the cot. The scene appears to be a satsang-style meeting among ashram members under a white canopy.

A group of saffron-robed sadhus sit cross-legged on a floor with a jungle-forest backdrop, eating a meal from steel thalis set on low wooden tables scattered with marigold petals. The man in the centre front wears a red-maroon turban, a dark red shawl over a yellow-gold sash, and a thick ornate gold necklace of beads; he is pressing food with his hand. At right, an elderly bearded man in orange robes and glasses eats with his fingers from a plate of roti and curry. Behind them, others in orange and peach robes eat, one raising food to his mouth. Plates hold roti, rice, dal and curries, with water bottles nearby.
