A large group of shirtless men in white dhoti-style cloth sit cross-legged on pink mats during a ritual sitting, many with white ash markings on their arms and chests and rudraksha malas around their necks. In the foreground a young man with long dreadlocks tied with a red cloth reaches toward a brass plate of offerings, while a bearded man with rudraksha beads on his arm works beside him. Brass trays, small oil lamps, a red thermos, a bowl of flowers and sandals sit on the floor, and a yellow-clad devotee appears at the lower right. The scene matches the morning puja and satsang context of an Arudra Darshan programme.

Several men in white dhotis with gold borders sit cross-legged on a polished floor during a puja. In the foreground, a man with folded hands and rudraksha malas sits with eyes closed. Near the centre, a man with white tilak and rudraksha mala holds an object while chanting; brass plates, small cups, flowers and a lit oil lamp rest on a green cloth and orange mats. Behind them, more white-clad devotees and a few onlookers in white and red sit in a yellow-walled hall. No figure here is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so the role is described only as priests and devotees.
