A seated audience at a large gathering, with a central bare-chested man in orange dhoti and a rudraksha mala clapping, his body marked with white sacred ash stripes. Around him devotees in white and orange garments sit, including a man in a white dhoti with an orange shawl and a bald man with a red tilak. Two children in orange clothing sit in the foreground, one wearing a rudraksha mala. Nearby an older man with white hair wears an orange shawl. No clearly distinctive a person cues such as long swept-back hair, crown or ceremonial gold necklace are evident on any candidate, so the identity is uncertain. Roughly twenty to thirty people are visible in the scene.

A large seated congregation of devotees at an indoor satsang or puja gathering. Foreground and middle rows show many men in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with rudraksha malas and pendant necklaces, several with white and red forehead markings. One man in the centre wears a rust-brown robe with rudraksha beads and raises his hands in anjali. An older man in white stands at left, hands folded. A few devotees in white and blue clothing appear in the background. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance, so the figures are described by role only.

Behind them a man in white dhoti with a gold-bordered cloth sits with hands joined, and a long-haired man in a white and yellow dhoti sits with eyes closed. Many men and boys in white and light clothing sit on mats behind, with offerings and plates of food and fruit placed on the floor.

In the foreground, a man with swept-back white hair and a white dhoti with yellow border smiles while clapping, wearing a rudraksha mala. Beside him, a bald man in a saffron-orange dhoti with yellow border, bare-chested with vibhuti marks on his forehead and arms, wearing a rudraksha mala and a pendant necklace, smiles and claps. Behind them, saffron-robed sannyasis and a man in a purple robe sit among devotees in white and orange. Some of the bald-headed sannyasi-like figures wear rudraksha malas.

A white tilak marks his forehead. Around him, seated devotees in orange and cream clothing fill a gathering, with a child in the lower left foreground, lowered head and eyes closed. The setting appears to be an indoor satsang or discourse audience.

In the foreground a young man with a bare chest and white tilak marks presses his palms together in front of his heart, flanked by smiling young devotees in orange shawls with rudraksha beads. Behind them, rows of men and boys in orange and white clothing sit closely together, some with white vibhuti lines on their foreheads.
