Outdoor group gathering seated on the ground beneath a large banyan tree at a sunny green site. Many devotees in plain white clothing sit in rows; several women wear sarees in green, pink, maroon and blue, and one woman has a long braid and a red-and-gold top. Some men stand or sit at the back. At right, a circular raised platform holds brass oil lamps, a small kalasha-like vessel and offering dishes beside a black-and-white patterned rim. No a person candidate is clearly visible in this frame.

Outdoor gathering beneath a large spreading banyan tree with thick aerial roots. A large crowd of devotees dressed mostly in white sits and stands in a circle on bare earth around a raised stone platform. A man in a saffron-and-cream wrap sits near the right edge with a crown-like white headband and long hair, adorned with a beaded necklace. Many devotees hold their hands in anjali mudra, and a brass oil lamp with a kalasha-like offering sits at the lower right on the stone. Several men stand at the back under the tree in white shirts and white dhotis, some wearing red and white lanyards or sashes. Loudspeakers stand among the trees, and a small brass pot and a shallow brass vessel rest on the stone in front.

Outdoor evening gathering of many devotees seated on white cloths under a large spreading banyan tree, with lamps lit along the front. Most people wear white clothes; a few women wear orange or blue. Many sit with hands pressed together in prayer. In front are rows of brass oil lamps and small white-topped offerings arranged on white cloth, with a dark decorated object at the lower left. Several men and women sit in the foreground, and a large crowd fills the middle ground. Spotlights are fixed to the tree branches.

A large banyan tree with sprawling aerial roots forms a canopy over a gathering of seated devotees on a rocky ground. Most are women with long braided hair seen from behind, wearing white sarees with orange and blue borders and some plain white garments. Further ahead, figures in orange and white stand near a distant ritual area with a decorated pole or shrine under the trees. The scene suggests a group sitting for a satsang or ritual gathering outdoors.

A woman in a light beige top sits at left, and a few people wear orange, pink and yellow saris and shirts. Lamps hang from the tree branches above.
