A seated man with long dark dreadlocks and a short beard sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne in a pink-walled hall, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a rudraksha mala with a gold pendant. Around him, a large seated group of devotees in orange, white and saffron clothes sit on the floor for a darshan and initiation session. Some wear garlands and rudraksha malas, and a few are bare-shouldered in orange. Framed photo panels hang on the walls, a silver trident stands beside the throne, and a red-and-gold seated deity murti sits on a raised red platform at the back, flanked by gold elephant figures. A camera on a tripod and a small side table with equipment appear at the left.

A seated man with hair tied in a knot and a thick gold-and-brown beaded necklace sits in a wooden armchair, wearing a maroon and gold wrap, with bare feet and a bracelet, as he listens and gestures toward a young woman in a white sari holding a microphone and a rudraksha mala. Around them, a crowd of devotees in orange and white clothing, many with white forehead markings, sit or stand in a hall, including a girl in a green dress and a child in white, some with hands folded. The setting looks like a satsang or question session in an ashram hall.

A seated man in a brown-red and yellow-orange robe sits on an ornate brown leather throne, holding a pair of wooden drumsticks and smiling. He wears a long gold-and-beaded necklace and a rudraksha mala, with a red bindi and a purple wristband. A tall gold ceremonial staff with a finial stands at right. In front of him, orange-clad children and young people sit in rows, some with white vibhuti markings on their foreheads, and a small electronic keyboard sits near the throne. A woman in a white sari stands in the background.
