A seated group of devotees in orange and saffron clothing, many wearing rudraksha beads and white forehead markings, sits on the floor during a gathering. In the foreground a young man with a shaved head applies white paste to his brow with his fingers, and a woman with a long braid beside him does the same. Other participants in orange garments, some holding notebooks, sit close together, and a bare-shouldered man with a shaved head is visible in the background. Nobody here is clearly identifiable as a person, so no candidate is marked.

The central figure in a white sari with red-and-gold border holds her hands together in front of her, appearing to chant or recite. Others sit attentively with eyes lowered or closed, and a small water bottle and a Russian flag are visible at the edge. Several are wearing glasses. Faint white copyright text overlays the lower right corner.

A large group of women and girls in orange and maroon robes sit closely together during a ritual, many holding small brass oil lamps with lit flames toward the upper hand. Several wear white vertical forehead markings, rudraksha malas and bangles, and some have hair tied back. Brass plates and small dishes with offerings sit on pink cloth in front of them. Some participants wear orange-striped sashes, and blurred figures in the foreground and background suggest an ashram puja or satsang gathering. No clear a person candidate is visible in this crowd.

Several young women and girls in orange and red saffron-toned robes sit cross-legged on the floor during a ceremony. Their foreheads and arms bear white ash markings, and many wear long rudraksha mala necklaces. The front two girls bend over small offerings, one holding a yellow flower or petal, while the girl at right rests her chin on her hand in quiet attention. Additional seated participants fill the background, and a small white flower offering and yellow petals lie on the floor in front.
