A seated group of women in a hall with red-cushioned chairs behind them, sitting on floor mats in rows. Most wear rudraksha malas over white or saffron-orange clothing; one woman in the centre wears a white sari with a red blouse and a long bead garland. Some smile and look toward the front, a blue microphone rests on the floor, and a teal water bottle sits near the women in the foreground. Several women have vermilion or sandalwood marks on their foreheads, and a small pot and cloth lie in the background. No single person in the scene is identified as a person.

A large seated audience of women fills the hall, many laughing broadly.

A seated satsang gathering in a plain hall with striped red and cream mats and orange cloth on the floor. In the foreground, three young men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas sit cross-legged; the one at right has a red-and-white vibhuti marking and holds a notebook. Behind them, a row of devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas with rudraksha malas sits attentively, and women in white saris and colourful salwars fill the left side. A small hand drum and brass items lie on the floor. A man in orange robes stands at the far right edge near a shrine area with orange and gold fabric. No clearly identifiable a person is distinguishable by the cues required, so this is a general devotee gathering.
