A large indoor hall filled with seated devotees sitting cross-legged on orange mats, many in white shirts and white dhotis. In the foreground a man in a white shirt with a dark rudraksha mala has his hands raised to his face in a breathing or nadi-shodhana posture, eyes closed. Beside him a bald man in a white shirt with a striped pattern and a light mala performs the same hand gesture. Other devotees wear badges on lanyards, and one man at right wears a white headband. A small printed cloth bag and a leaflet with a portrait lie on the mats. A video camera on a tripod stands at the back of the hall, and the rows extend to the rear wall. No one is identifiable as a person in the foreground.

A large hall of seated participants in white clothes doing a breathing practice, most with one hand raised to the nose in nadi shodhana style. Many wear dark lanyards with name badges, some in green or olive shirts. They kneel and sit on red and white striped mats, with dark headphones on a few. Red chairs line the back, and at right a glass case holds a golden deity murti and a gold-coloured statue, beside a table with flowers. Orange drapes hang behind the stage area.

Rows of seated devotees on striped mats wear white kurtas and shirts, many with lanyards, and most have a hand raised to one nostril in a breathing practice. A standing figure in a long white robe with long white hair and a rudraksha-style necklace stands at the back near a white door, apparently facing the room. A small wall screen and a yellow cloth hang on the wall.

Photo of a seated group of men in white dhoti and shoulder cloths performing a breathing practice in a bright hall with pink walls and orange chairs. Several men sit cross-legged on the tiled floor with one hand raised to one nostril, eyes closed, and white vertical marks painted on their foreheads and arms. Two men in the foreground wear rudraksha malas and gold bracelets. At the right edge, a figure in saffron-orange robes sits in the corner. Small steel bowls, trays and cloth sit on the floor beside them.

A photograph of a meditation hall with pink walls and red curtains. Many seated devotees in white kurtas and dhotis, some in green or striped shirts, sit on striped mats and rolled blankets, many with one hand raised to one nostril in a breathing practice. A standing figure in a long white robe with long hair stands near the white doors at the back of the hall; this is a visible person whose identity is not established from appearance. Red chairs are stacked along the side walls, and a flat-screen monitor hangs on the wall. Several attendees wear name badges on lanyards, and an orange cloth hangs from the ceiling at the top.

A seated group of men in white dhotis and shawls practise a breathing or energy meditation, several with fingers pressed to their nostrils in a nasal-breathing gesture. One man in front wears white kurta and a vertical tilak on his forehead, eyes closed, hands raised to his nose. A bald man on the right wears a rudraksha-style bead necklace, a gold bracelet and a red-bordered shawl, holding his nose with one hand while arms are folded. Behind them a man in a light blue polo shirt sits with eyes closed, and other seated devotees sit on a striped mat before a floral-patterned backdrop and red chairs. Brass vessels sit on a table in the background.

A seated devotee in a white kurta with rolled sleeves and a gold bangle sits on striped red-and-blue mats, hands pressed together near his face in a meditative pose. Behind him, several people in white and grey sit in rows on the mats, and a woman in red sits at right. Along the back wall, a golden deity murti and an ornate altar with silver-toned figures and orange drapes are visible, with a figure seated in a chair near the altar. The room has pink walls and tall windows.

A photograph of a large hall where many devotees sit cross-legged on striped mats in meditation, eyes closed, hands resting on their knees or laps. Most wear white kurtas or white shirts and trousers; a man in the foreground centre has a bald head and a white shirt, and a bearded man at left wears a white t-shirt. A woman in a pale pink sleeveless top and teal trousers sits near the left, and a man in a teal shirt sits to the right. Behind them, golden statues and a deity murti stand on a raised altar, with red chairs lining the far wall. No candidate for a person is visible among those seated, so the scene shows a satsang or meditation session with devotees.
