Outdoor photo beneath a large banyan tree with dense aerial roots and spreading branches. Many devotees in white clothing sit in rows on stone platforms and the ground, facing left toward a shrine area draped with red and white flower offerings and a small orange-and-white cloth at its edge. Some attendees wear orange garments and a few have garlands or lanyards. Leaves hang at the upper right and a small arched structure with garlands stands at the left. Most people are seated with hands in their laps or palms together, in a calm gathering.

A photograph of a group of people sitting in meditation or yoga on the ground beneath a large, sprawling banyan tree with thick aerial roots and spreading branches. Most participants wear white clothing and orange shawls or sashes over their shoulders, and several wear rudraksha malas. They sit cross-legged on mats in rows, facing away from the camera toward the tree's trunk, on bare red-brown earth. A few men at the front have white cloth or tilak marks on their foreheads. No clear individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance in this image, so the figure is described only by role as a seated participant. Bright green foliage fills the background.

A large banyan tree with dense aerial roots and hanging vines shelters a seated congregation on a dirt ground. Many people sit cross-legged on mats, most dressed in white, while a man in the foreground wears a pale turquoise kurta and white dhoti, seated on a low wall at the right. Toward the left, a dark statue wearing an orange garment and red headpiece stands beside a red-draped platform with a wooden seat and lamps. Several people sit in front of the platform and a white pole rises at the left edge. The scene appears to be a satsang or session held under the tree.
