Outdoor satsang beneath a large banyan tree with dense aerial roots. A figure in orange robes sits cross-legged on a white-draped platform with a microphone and small bowl before them, speaking to a seated audience. Audience members wear mostly white clothing, with some in pink, red and brown shawls, sitting on the bare ground in front of the platform. A white easel board stands to the left and a stone-edged raised circular platform with a patterned mat is at right. The scene is lit by daylight filtering through the leaves.

Outdoor satsang under a massive banyan tree with many aerial roots. A large seated audience in white clothes sits on mats and cloths on the ground facing a raised platform.

Beside them, a seated figure in orange with long dark hair sits on a decorated throne-like seat adorned with a garland of white flowers and a golden crown-like top. Carved stone and a large dark snake sculpture form the platform edge, with a small plate of offerings in front. A blackboard on an easel stands nearby.

A large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots dominates an outdoor setting. Beneath it, a group of about thirty people in plain white clothes sit on a low stone bench and the ground, many wearing blue or red lanyards with ID badges. On the far right, a woman in white sits apart at the end of the bench, and a few people in blue shirts and white dress sit or stand around the edges. Others in white and blue are scattered among the trees in the background. The scene resembles a seated satsang gathering under the tree.

A group of about twenty people sit cross-legged in meditation beneath a large, sprawling banyan tree with many aerial roots and wide low branches. Most wear white clothes, and several have orange or saffron shawls draped over their shoulders. They are seated on the dry leaf-strewn ground in loose rows, some on small mats, others on rocks or low stones. A figure in white at the far left sits near the trunk, and a few people are arranged further back among the branches. No single person is clearly singled out as a leader, and no one is clearly identifiable as the a person. The scene is a peaceful outdoor meditation session in a shaded grove.
