A photo inside a hall with red curtains and a gold-framed throne at right. A young woman in a yellow floral salwar kameez receives a small book from a man seated at right in saffron-orange robes, rudraksha malas and gold bangles, with a headset microphone; he holds a book in his other hand. Behind them, several saffron-robed men, some shaved-headed and some with white tilaka, sit or stand, and a woman in a white sari with red border and other devotees in white and yellow watch. A tall air conditioner and pedestal fans stand against the wall. The page labels this as a person, probable, from the saffron clothing, rudraksha malas, headset and throne setting.

Indoor satsang or initiation gathering in a tiled hall, with devotees seated on the floor in white dhotis and mundus with gold borders and red shawls, many wearing rudraksha malas. A bare-chested man in a red-orange cloth sits on an ornate gold throne-like seat at the left, with a microphone and orange-draped table in front. Other devotees in white hold their hands to their faces in a gesture of prayer and sit in rows. A golden deity murti stands in an alcove at the back, with a red-draped table at right and a standing man in white with a mala at far right.
