A seated group of men in white shirts and white dhotis sits on white floor mats during a programme. A man in the centre holds a handheld microphone on a green cable and speaks, gesturing with his right hand. He wears a dark rudraksha mala, a wristwatch and a gold bracelet, and has a ribbon rosette in yellow and green pinned to his shirt. Men on both sides wear similar white clothes, badges and ribbon rosettes, and several wear dark rudraksha malas. In the foreground, the heads of other seated attendees are partly visible, with a wall and a framed picture behind them.

Devotees seated cross-legged on white mats in a dim hall, palms pressed together in anjali mudra with eyes closed in prayer. Men wear white shirts and cream or white dhotis, several with vibhuti or kumkum marks on their foreheads, and some wear rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces. Ashram identification badges hang on lanyards from some shirts. Behind them, temple pillars and a hanging lamp are visible. No clearly distinctive a person candidate is visible among the seated people, so the a person field is unsure. Several devotees are seen from the side and back, and the scene reflects a satsang or meditation gathering during the Ananda Samajam event.
