A photograph of a large seated gathering inside a bright hall with white walls and a red curtain on the left. Most attendees sit cross-legged on the floor, many in white or cream clothing and some in saffron, red and green saris or kurtas. Several women have their hands pressed together in anjali mudra, and some wear rudraksha or beaded malas and white cloth. Small oil lamps and offerings sit on the floor in front, and a red shawl and red sari appear in the foreground. Children and young girls sit among the adults, some with vibhuti or tilak on their foreheads. In the background a figure in white stands near a doorway, but no person is clearly identifiable as a person.

A large seated gathering of devotees in a hall, many in white clothing with orange or red shawls and rudraksha malas around their necks. Many have eyes closed and palms raised in a chanting or meditative posture. Some women wear saffron and green saris, and a few have red kumkum on their foreheads. The front row is blurred and in the foreground. No single figure in saffron, crown, or ceremonial adornment is identifiable as a presiding figure, so no a person candidate is identified.

Several wear yellow shawls, others orange shawls; a woman in the foreground wears an orange shawl and bindi and holds her palms together. Beads and a rudraksha-style mala are visible around some necks. Behind them, a red-pillared doorway opens onto a palm-lined courtyard, and a hanging yellow-and-patterned cloth decorates the top of the entrance.

A seated figure in a green sari stands at the top right near a red chair, and a small brass lamp and offering plates sit in the foreground. No a person candidate is visible; the scene shows devotees at satsang or meditation.
