Dusk over a riverbank at Haridwar, with a pale blue and orange sky and a flock of birds flying in a loose cluster across the upper centre. Bare winter trees and dark shrubs line the horizon. In the foreground, several figures walk across pale stony ground; one man in a white shirt stands at left, and a few people in saffron or orange clothing move toward the right. At the right edge a white and red umbrella or canopy stands on a pole. The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Bhagavan a person is not visibly identifiable among these figures, so no candidate is recognised. The scene is an outdoor ghat visit at sunset.

Outdoor satsang on a wide, pebbled riverbank under a hazy sky, with bare trees and low hills behind. A seated figure on a raised platform beneath a cream and red-trimmed ceremonial parasol with a small finial appears to lead the gathering; he wears orange-red robes and has long hair, but the page does not establish his identity from appearance and no firm identification is made.
