Several shirtless male devotees sit cross-legged in a hall during a puja, palms pressed together in anjali. The foreground devotee on the right wears a red-and-brown rudraksha mala and a silver pendant, with white body markings on his shoulders and arms. The centre devotee has dreadlocks tied back under a black headband, hoop earrings, and a rudraksha mala, also holding palms together. The left figure wears a white dhoti with a gold border and gold bracelets. Small oil lamps glow on the floor and a blurred crowd of seated attendees fills the background.

Two men sit cross-legged in a hall with red-cushioned chairs behind them, hands pressed together in anjali mudra. The man on the left, with hair tied in a topknot and a red-and-saffron shawl over bare shoulders, wears a white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha mala. The man on the right, in white dhoti with a red-brown armband and rudraksha mala, has a white vibhuti mark on his forehead and eyes closed. Another person is partly visible at the far left edge. Their posture suggests satsang or prayer.

Seated devotees in white cloths meditate with eyes closed on a floor, several with white sacred ash marks on their foreheads and arms. The central man wears a dark rudraksha-style mala and a white dhoti-style wrap, hands resting on his knee. Men to the left and right wear similar white clothes, some with beaded necklaces, and a brass vessel sits on the floor at left beside a metal table with a red cloth. Figures in the foreground are partly cropped.

Three men seated in a hall with palms pressed together in anjali, eyes closed in prayer. The nearest, on the right, is an older bald man with white vibhuti markings on his forehead and arms, wearing a rudraksha mala and a white dhoti. The middle young man has long dark hair tied back, a tilak, rudraksha malas and a white upper cloth. The left young man also wears rudraksha malas and white markings on his shoulders. Behind them, others in orange and white clothing sit in the blurred background of a satsang or darshan gathering. No candidate for the a person figure is clearly distinguishable by the cues required.

Three seated men in white dhotis and white shawls sit with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, eyes closed in prayer. Each has white vibhuti or tilak markings on the forehead and arms, with white painted lines on the upper arm of the man on the left. The man in the centre wears a dark rudraksha-style mala and a gold bangle, and his shawl has gold borders. The man on the right wears a gold-bordered white garment and a gold bangle. A partly visible fourth person stands at the far left edge. The setting is a plain white-walled room with a light-coloured floor.
