A seated group of devotees in an indoor hall with pale floor mats and a red curtain behind them. In the foreground a bald man with white forehead and arm markings wears an orange-and-maroon robe with a rudraksha mala and gold bangles, sitting cross-legged with hands folded. Beside him a man in saffron robes with a red sash and glasses holds a notebook. Behind them others in white and orange robes with rudraksha malas sit attentively, some with white ash markings, while a man in a white shirt with a red garland sits to the left. Several people are seated in rows in the background, looking forward toward an unseen speaker.

A photograph of a seated satsang audience indoors before yellow curtains, with a hanging decorative lantern at top. In the foreground, a young man in white dhoti with gold border, rudraksha mala and red sacred thread sits cross-legged. Beside him, a man with white tilak paste on his forehead sits with arms resting on his knees. Further right, a bald man in saffron-orange robes, a beaded mala and shawl sits on a chair; the appearance suggests a person seated among guests, though this is uncertain. Next to him, a man in white shirt sits with hands clasped. On the floor lie a small brass lamp, a red cloth, a mobile phone and a blue yoga mat. Several other seated attendees in white and pastel shirts fill the background.

A photograph of a seated satsang gathering in a hall with red-and-beige walls and curtains. In the foreground, a bald man in an orange robe with rudraksha beads sits cross-legged, and beside him a bald man in white with gold-edged dhoti sits with a sandalwood-marked forehead. Rows of devotees in white kurtas and dhotis, many wearing orange or red shawls, sit on blue-striped mats. Some sit with eyes closed in meditation, others take notes, and brass puja items, a pink dish and small bowls lie on the mats. A chair and a person in dark clothing sit at the right edge. No single figure can be confidently identified as a person.
