A seated audience fills a hall at a satsang, many devotees in white dhotis and kurtas, others in saffron and rust-orange robes with rudraksha malas and white vibhuti lines on their foreheads. Several shaved-headed sannyasis sit in the foreground, one in rust-orange cloth with hands clasped at his chin. Behind them rows of attendees in white, pastel and bright clothing listen attentively. No individual is identifiable as a person in this crowd view, and no one appears to be a speaker on a dais.

A large crowd of devotees sits closely packed on the floor of a bright hall during a satsang gathering. Many wear white dhotis and shawls with rudraksha malas around their necks, while several younger men in the foreground wear saffron-orange cloths and some have white sacred markings on their chests and foreheads. A woman in a pale cream sari with orange border sits near the centre, and a man on the right has long hair and a saffron wrap with rudraksha beads. Tall brass lamps stand along the back left. The seated assembly is focused forward, toward an unseen speaker, in an atmosphere of meditative attention.

Large seated assembly in a hall, mostly men in white kurtas and white dhotis, many wearing orange or saffron shawls and rudraksha malas. In the foreground, a young man on the left has white tilak marks on his forehead and long hair, wearing an orange cloth and beaded necklace. Beside him sits a bald man in glasses and a white shirt. A bald man in the centre-right wears a white kurta, red tilak and a beaded mala, with eyes closed in meditation. Behind them rows of devotees sit on red and patterned mats, many with eyes closed, some wearing orange shawls and malas. No central figure with distinctive a person cues is clearly visible, so no identification is made.
