A photograph of a yoga or meditation session in a plain pink-walled hall with red and white striped mats on the floor. Many participants wear white clothing and white headbands, some kneeling and others with both arms raised overhead, palms open. One woman in a yellow-brown kurta stands near the centre, and a woman on the right wears a green top. Some participants sit with eyes covered by white bands, and a few wear headphones. Bags and bottles lie on the mats at the bottom edge. No identifiable a person is visible among the participants.

A photograph of a group of devotees in a bright hall seated on striped red, white and blue mats, many with white cloths tied over their eyes and arms raised high in an ecstatic gesture. Most wear white kurtas or white shawls; one woman in the foreground wears a cream embroidered jacket, another in the right foreground wears a green and orange sari, and several have rudraksha malas around their necks. Orange and yellow cloth banners hang from the ceiling and a gilded framed shrine stands in the background. The setting appears to be a satsang session with participants in a meditative posture.

A photograph of a meditation or satsang gathering in a plain hall with pale walls and red-and-white striped mats. Many participants sit closely together in all-white clothing with white blindfold headbands.

To the right a bald man in white sits cross-legged with a white headband. A hanging orange and yellow tassel decoration and an orange cloth on the floor add colour. Behind them more white-clad devotees sit on mats in rows.

A dimly lit hall shows a large group of people seated on mats with arms raised overhead, many wearing white clothes, white blindfolds or headbands and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. Several wear name badges. In the foreground a man in white with a blindfold lifts both arms, and on the far right a person in a lavender top and white blindfold raises arms. Ceiling lights and a water bottle are visible.

A photograph of a seated group of about twenty adult men in white and cream clothing during a guided meditation or exercise session in a hall with red-and-gold patterned walls. Most wear black blindfolds and sit on striped red-and-white mats with hands clasped behind or over their heads. In the foreground a bald man in white kurta and trousers bends forward with both hands on the back of his head; beside him a man in orange kurta and a man in grey shirt sit similarly. Notebooks, eyeglasses, a black bag and a blue yoga mat lie on the floor, and paper name badges hang on several chests.

A group of people seated on chairs and mats in a bright hall performs a yogic hand-raising practice, palms open and elbows lifted beside the head. In the centre a grey-haired man in a white kurta and pale yellow trousers, with a lanyard badge, sits upright with both hands raised. Others in white kurtas, a red shirt and a maroon kurta join in the same posture, some seated on red chairs. An orange cloth and a small bag rest on the floor. No one visible is identifiable as a person, and the scene shows participants of a satsang-style programme.

A seated group of participants in a meditation hall, each with a white cloth blindfold tied over their eyes. Most wear light collared shirts and trousers, one man in the foreground wears a white t-shirt with a graphic print, and a woman in a green salwar sits among them. Several have name badges clipped to their shirts. They sit cross-legged on a white floor covering with red chairs visible behind, and red-framed windows in the background. No a person candidate is visible; the people are participants in a blindfolded meditation session.

A seated group of devotees in a hall sits on red floor mats, each wearing a red blindfold over their eyes. In the foreground, a man in white shirt and white dhoti sits cross-legged with hands resting on his knees, wearing a name badge and a red wrist thread. Beside him, a man in a striped white T-shirt and white dhoti sits with hands in a meditative mudra, wearing a gold chain and wristwatch. To the right, a man in white garments with a gold chain sits blindfolded. Behind them, more blindfolded participants, some in white and some in green shirts, sit in rows, with a man at upper right adjusting his blindfold. Papers and a small object lie on the mats. The scene appears to be a guided meditation or sensory exercise in a meeting hall.
