A seated group of young monks and adult sannyasis in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas and white vibhuti stripes across their foreheads sit cross-legged on a light mat in a bright hall. Many have shaved heads; some hold small brass items and offering plates before them. Behind them, folded maroon mats are stacked against the wall. On the right, a man in a white kurta wears a long rudraksha mala and sits with hands folded, appearing to take part in the group's sitting. Water bottles and a fan are visible at the edges. No clear a person candidate can be confirmed from appearance, so the figures are described by role only.

A seated congregation of devotees in a hall with a colourful striped mat underneath them. Most wear orange or saffron cloths over bare shoulders and rudraksha malas, with white ritual cloths worn by others in the background. Several have white vibhuti or sandal marks on their foreheads and arms. A bald man in the centre-right wears an orange cloth and smiles while clapping, and a man in front-centre wears glasses and smiles. Some people in the back appear to clap or raise their hands in greeting. No single person in the frame is clearly identifiable as the a person.

In the foreground, several saffron-robed sannyasis sit cross-legged with eyes closed and hands folded, one with a shaved head and a braided orange shawl, others wearing rudraksha malas and tilak marks. Behind them, people in white clothes sit on mats, and small wooden book stands are placed in front. A framed picture hangs on the left wall.

A red carpet runs along a rope barrier at left.

A seated group of devotees in a hall during a satsang gathering. In the foreground, a shaved-headed sannyasi in saffron and maroon robes with a rudraksha mala and a long orange-beaded necklace sits with white tripundra markings and bare arms, centred among others. Beside him, similarly robed monks in orange with beaded malas sit cross-legged, and a man in a white kurta with a red scarf sits at the right with a laptop. Behind them, rows of men and boys in white and orange clothing sit on the floor, with more onlookers seated in chairs at the back. The foreground figure is not confidently identifiable from appearance, so the role is described as a sannyasi.
