A crowded indoor hall with a white ceiling canopy and a hanging orange cloth with gold trim. A bare-chested figure with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange sleeveless garment and a rudraksha mala, standing with his back partly turned among devotees. Around him, men in white shirts and dhotis, some with rudraksha malas, press forward with hands joined in anjali. A shaved-headed priest in an orange dhoti with gold necklaces and white tilak marks stands to the right. A projector screen and decorative striped pillars with tassels are visible at the back.

A dim indoor hall during an evening healing program, with a large crowd of men in white clothes and white dhotis walking in a line. Several have white shirts and wear dark beaded necklaces or rudraksha-style malas, and one man in the foreground presses his palms together in namaste. Others in the back reach out with hands extended, as if being blessed or healed. Hanging colourful patterned banners in orange, red and black decorate the upper left and the back of the hall. The scene shows a group energy healing or blessing session with many white-clad participants, though no clearly identifiable a person figure is visible.

A photograph of a devotional gathering inside a decorated hall with a white canopy and colourful striped pillars hanging above. In the centre, a young man in an orange robe with a dark rudraksha-style bead necklace leans forward and receives or offers items from a silver tray, while an assistant in orange, also wearing beads, holds the tray. Around them, several men in white dhotis and shirts stand with palms pressed together in namaskar, some wearing beaded necklaces, and others in white kurtas stand in the background. A man with a long white beard at left presses his hands together, and a video camera on the right records the scene.

A dim indoor hall under a white tent-like ceiling with hanging orange and patterned banners and tube lights. A large crowd of men in white kurta-style clothes rises and dances, many with arms raised. In the centre, a bearded man in white clothes with a long orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulders stands beside a metal walker frame and smiles; he has a rudraksha-style necklace visible. A figure in front wears white with an orange shawl and long dark hair. The scene appears to be a group dance during a healing training gathering.

A man in an orange turban and orange robe with a red and white garland stands with palms pressed together in namaste, facing a man in a white shirt who wears a rainbow-coloured rosette at his waist and gestures with his hand. Behind them a shirtless priest with a rudraksha mala and sacred thread stands near the wall, and at lower right a priest with white and yellow tilak and bare upper body holds a ritual item. Devotees crowd the foreground and background, several with glasses and grey hair.
