A photograph of a group of people sitting in meditation or yoga on the ground beneath a large, sprawling banyan tree with thick aerial roots and spreading branches. Most participants wear white clothing and orange shawls or sashes over their shoulders, and several wear rudraksha malas. They sit cross-legged on mats in rows, facing away from the camera toward the tree's trunk, on bare red-brown earth. A few men at the front have white cloth or tilak marks on their foreheads. No clear individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance in this image, so the figure is described only by role as a seated participant. Bright green foliage fills the background.

A row of about two dozen people sits cross-legged in meditation on bare ground beneath a large spreading banyan tree with long aerial roots. Most wear white clothes with orange shawls and rudraksha-style beaded malas; a few are in plain white. Some sit with eyes closed and hands resting in their laps. A red carved object and a white decorated stone edge appear in the lower foreground. The scene reads as group meditation or yoga outdoors.

An outdoor satsang session held beneath a large spreading tree with thick horizontal branches. Dozens of devotees sit on mats and cushions in white and light clothing, many in white kurtas and saris, with a few in orange and yellow. In front, a seated figure in orange robes leads the gathering from a raised dais, and behind them stands a black deity murti with an orange garment and a white arch, set against red-draped steps and a bell hanging from the branches. Several people in the rows hold books or notebooks. Mostly 21-100 people are visible in the scene.

A seated group of devotees sits on mats beneath a large banyan tree with many aerial roots, listening to a teacher. Many attendees wear white clothing and some wear red or orange; a woman in a red top sits in the foreground, and a blonde woman in a white top sits in the middle. A figure in an orange robe with a red head covering sits on a red-cushioned seat at right, with a microphone stand in front. A dark statue in orange cloth and a red painted pedestal stand beside the seat. Wooden poles and hanging tree roots frame the scene. The figure in orange is a person candidate based on the saffron robe and red head covering, though appearance is only partly visible.

A large banyan tree with dense aerial roots and hanging vines shelters a seated congregation on a dirt ground. Many people sit cross-legged on mats, most dressed in white, while a man in the foreground wears a pale turquoise kurta and white dhoti, seated on a low wall at the right. Toward the left, a dark statue wearing an orange garment and red headpiece stands beside a red-draped platform with a wooden seat and lamps. Several people sit in front of the platform and a white pole rises at the left edge. The scene appears to be a satsang or session held under the tree.
