Outdoor scene at an ashram courtyard with sandy ground, a large grey boulder and a tree at left. A bare-chested person with long dark hair, wearing a red-maroon dhoti and a red wrist thread, sits in a wicker armchair with hand to face, appearing to listen. Around them, a group of children and teenagers in saffron-orange tops and orange shawls sit on the ground, some with shaved heads and rudraksha beads. Behind, a woman in a white sari with a shoulder bag and another woman in white stand; a man in white with a saffron shawl and rudraksha mala stands at the back, and a woman in a maroon sari holds a shawl. Wicker sofas, a small well and pink bougainvillea appear behind them.

A seated man with long dark hair and a bare chest wears a rust-red wrap and has a gold chain, sitting in a woven cane armchair in an open courtyard with sandy ground. He holds a small bundle wrapped in white cloth on his lap and gestures with one raised hand. Around him sit many boys with shaved heads wearing saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas, some with white markings on their foreheads, listening attentively. A camera on a tripod stands at the right, and a few people in plain clothes sit at the edges. The scene resembles a gurukul-style teaching session with children in a courtyard setting.

A photograph of an outdoor gathering in a sandy courtyard in front of a red-tiled colonnaded building with a tree and flowering shrubs. A long-haired figure in a rust-red robe and bare-chested drape sits in a woven cane armchair, leaning forward with hands together while speaking. Around them sit many shaven-headed boys in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas, along with some children in dark t-shirts. A woman in orange sari with a rudraksha mala stands on the veranda steps, and another person in white stands at the far right. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a rust-red robe and a wrap, and sits as the speaker in a central chair, consistent with the page caption.

Outdoor satsang on a paved courtyard before a red temple structure. Many women in saffron-orange saris with red borders sit cross-legged on mats, many wearing long rudraksha malas and braided fibre or bead ornaments. Some hold notebooks, a woman in front looks at a mobile phone, and a few women in white or pink saris sit or stand in the background. A tripod-mounted camera stands at right and a tree and red pillars frame the scene. The audience listens attentively to the discourse.

A few people stand with arms folded at the left edge, and a copper pot sits on a small table in the background.
