A large indoor hall of seated practitioners in a meditation or yoga session, most sitting cross-legged on blue, yellow and grey mats with hands folded in their laps. Many participants are bare-chested and wear dark trousers. Brass or gold lamp stands with hanging lamps are visible along the left side, and paper lanterns hang from the ceiling. Several people in the front rows have shaved heads, and some have tattoos on their arms and chest. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so no candidate is marked.

A photograph of many male participants lying supine in rows on brown yoga mats across a white tiled hall, arms relaxed at their sides, as in a savasana rest. Most are bare-chested and wear black or dark trousers, with one in grey sweatpants and another in white on the upper right. Small brass kalasha-style vessels and water bottles sit beside some mats, with dark garments folded near feet.

A large hall with white tiled floor where many bare-chested men in black trousers sit on brown yoga mats performing forward-bending stretches with arms extended. Some wear white dhotis, one older man with white hair in the foreground wears white pants and a rudraksha mala, with a wristwatch, leaning forward to touch his feet. Water bottles, small brass bells and folded black cloths lie on the floor, and sacred ash marks show on several bodies. Men in orange and maroon garments appear among the rows, consistent with a person Vinyasa Krama Yoga session.

Many people sit on tan yoga mats in a large white-tiled hall, bent forward in a seated prostration with foreheads resting on hands, arms folded over the head. Most are bare-chested in black shorts or dark athletic shorts; a few wear white or dark trousers. Thin cords hang over their shoulders. In the background a figure in orange robes stands near the left edge, and rows of white chairs with red cushions fill the far side of the hall. No one in the frame is clearly identifiable as a person.

A large hall with a patterned red-and-gold carpet holds many people lying on their backs in rows on yoga mats, most in black or dark clothing, with a bright pink top and a green top visible in the foreground. Two large projection screens flank a stage at the far end, where a deity murti sits and a framed portrait hangs above; the portrait shows a figure with long hair and an orange cloth, but the caption is not legible. Chairs are arranged along the aisles between the rows. The scene suggests a group meditation or relaxation session.

Most participants wear black clothing. A woman in an orange top sits upright at the centre-right, watching. Black stanchion posts with rope barriers divide the mats, and tables with blue cloth stand at the back. Water bottles sit near some mats.

A large hall with a tiled floor where many men practise yoga on coloured mats, blue, red, grey, green and orange, performing a forward-bending pose with arms extended. Most wear white kurtas or shirts and white dhotis or trousers. A man in the foreground right has a red-and-green wrist thread and sits in a low back-bend. Behind them, rows of folded red chairs line the wall, and a man in an orange robe stands near the top right. No central figure is singled out as a person in this image.
