A seated audience of devotees in white kurta-style clothing fills a plain brick-walled hall, most wearing red-and-orange woven shawls with orange lanyards. In the front row, a man with a blue crutch wears a red shawl and sits beside a man in a white shirt and black trousers with red shawl. At right, a bearded man in white dhoti and white shirt with a red shawl and gold bracelets holds a notebook. Standing figures at back include a woman in a green sari, and a man in white with a red shawl. A small pedestal fan stands in the middle. The scene suggests a satsang or discourse gathering.

A photograph of a seated and standing group of men and a few women at an indoor event with an unfinished brick wall and exposed pipes behind them. Many wear white kurta-style or white shirts with red-orange scarves and orange lanyard badges with name cards. In the foreground, a man in white with glasses sits on a beige plastic chair with hands folded, beside a man in white holding a blue crutch, and a man in a white shirt and red scarf. Several people stand in the background, one standing man in the center wears a bald head and orange scarf, and a woman in white with a patterned shawl stands at left. No throne or ceremonial figure is clearly visible, so no appearance-based candidate for a person can be identified.
