A seated group of devotees sits on mats beneath a large banyan tree with many aerial roots, listening to a teacher. Many attendees wear white clothing and some wear red or orange; a woman in a red top sits in the foreground, and a blonde woman in a white top sits in the middle. A figure in an orange robe with a red head covering sits on a red-cushioned seat at right, with a microphone stand in front. A dark statue in orange cloth and a red painted pedestal stand beside the seat. Wooden poles and hanging tree roots frame the scene. The figure in orange is a person candidate based on the saffron robe and red head covering, though appearance is only partly visible.

Outdoor satsang under a large banyan tree with aerial roots. A seated figure in orange robes sits on a red-cushioned throne at right, speaking into a microphone. Nearby stands an orange-robed statue beside a red-painted rock formation and a black-and-white patterned cloth. Around them, a large group of seated devotees in white clothing sits on woven mats and cloth on the ground, several in white and red.
