A large seated gathering of devotees in white clothing sits on red-and-cream striped mats in a hall. In the foreground, several young men sit cross-legged with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. One wears a white shirt and dhoti with orange-yellow edging, a rudraksha mala and a bracelet; another, on the right, has a white tilak across his forehead and a rudraksha mala with a small pendant. Behind them, many more participants in white kurtas and shirts sit attentively with eyes closed, and a woman in yellow appears at the left edge. The scene suggests a satsang or meditation session.

A photograph of a large hall where many devotees sit cross-legged on striped mats in meditation, eyes closed, hands resting on their knees or laps. Most wear white kurtas or white shirts and trousers; a man in the foreground centre has a bald head and a white shirt, and a bearded man at left wears a white t-shirt. A woman in a pale pink sleeveless top and teal trousers sits near the left, and a man in a teal shirt sits to the right. Behind them, golden statues and a deity murti stand on a raised altar, with red chairs lining the far wall. No candidate for a person is visible among those seated, so the scene shows a satsang or meditation session with devotees.

In the foreground, several men with shaved heads wear white dhotis with red-and-gold striped borders and white upper cloths, sit with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, eyes closed. Brass lamps and small offering plates with flowers and fruit sit on the floor before them, with lit oil lamps and a small ritual setup visible. Behind them, more seated devotees in white and colourful clothing, some with hands folded, fill the room, and a woman in a blue dress sits among them. There is no clearly identifiable a person figure in this view.

A seated congregation of men fills a hall with a polished pale floor and red curtains behind them, many sitting on thin striped mats in white kurtas and dhotis. Several in the front row sit with palms pressed together in anjali, eyes closed or lowered, in a satsang or meditation gathering. Some wear lanyard badges around their necks. A man in a navy shirt and a man in a checked shirt sit at the right edge, and a water bottle rests on the floor in front. The page indicates a person was present, but no visible figure shows the appearance cues needed to identify him, so none is named.
