A photograph inside a plain hall with a concrete floor and a row of blue chairs against the wall. A figure in orange robes with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala sits on a white-draped couch or bed with a dark cushion, speaking into a microphone on a stand. Beside him, a man in saffron clothing sits cross-legged on the floor with a book, and another seated man in orange holds papers. In the foreground, a man in white clothes lies prostrate on the floor with his hands near the seated figure's feet. Around them, roughly a dozen men in white dhotis and kurtas stand and stand and listen, several wearing rudraksha malas. A small framed picture with text hangs on the upper left wall.

A long-haired figure in an orange-saffron robe sits on a raised white-draped seat with a dark red cushion, with a microphone on a stand beside them, and gestures with an outstretched hand. Before them a man in white dhoti and shirt with a lanyard kneels and prostrates flat on a blue mat. Other men in white shirts and dhotis stand around the room, and two seated figures in orange robes sit on mats at the left.

A man in white shirt and white dhoti bows prostrate on the blue mat at the feet of the seated figure, while the seated figure raises one hand in blessing and holds a rudraksha mala. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand and walk in the background, and saffron-robed monks sit cross-legged on the left.
