Indoor hall at night where a group of people sit and lie on striped colourful mats during a mass healing session. Several people in white clothes with orange stoles are giving hands-on healing to participants; a woman in white with orange stole touches a reclining woman in pink, and another in white sits beside a woman in white with a long braid. A woman lies on her back in pink lace clothing with a mobile phone near her head. Plastic chairs, bags and a white draped sofa with a microphone stand are at the sides, and a stage with a framed image and dark drapes sits in the background.

Night outdoor scene on a striped multicolour woven mat on a concrete floor. Several people lie or sit on the mat receiving hands-on healing. A woman in white with dark hair pulled back and a Western woman with blonde hair tied up and an orange shawl place their hands on a reclining woman in an orange sari. Another woman in a white blouse and white dhoti-style garment sits behind, and another lies on the left in a light blue and white sari. White plastic chairs and a few seated people sit in the background. A open book with a red-toned anatomical illustration lies at the lower left corner of the mat.

A crowded outdoor healing scene beside a weathered blue and white wall. In the foreground, a woman in white sari sits with her head bowed while hands are placed on her head. A man in a light blue shirt with glasses and a lanyard stands with palms pressed together in greeting, and a woman in a white sari with a white flower in her hair places her hand on another devotee's head. Several other people in white and light clothing stand behind, with flowers in their hair and a bare hand visible at lower left.

Two women in the foreground have their hands raised to their heads in a gesture of blessing or reverence, while a long-braided woman in white stands with head bowed. Background shows more white-clad people standing and seated, and a dark stage area with orange cloth.

A dimly lit hall with white plastic chairs where several people in white clothing lie prostrate on colourful striped woven mats, heads bowed toward the floor. A woman in a white sari stands near the centre of the mats, while others sit in chairs along the back wall, some in orange and white garments. The setting suggests a group healing or devotional session in an ashram-style hall, with a small table and overhead lights visible.

In the foreground, a group of women in white sarees with gold borders kneel on white sheets, several with hands raised to their foreheads in a reverent gesture. One woman in an orange shawl sits at the centre-left, and a woman in a blue and green patterned shawl sits nearby. Behind them, women in white stand on the stage, and at the lower right, young people sit on the floor. Colourful garlands and decorative hangings adorn the stage area.

In the foreground, several women sit cross-legged on mats: a woman in a white sari with a grey-patterned border on the far left, a woman in a white sari with red and orange borders with folded hands in front, a woman in a white sari with a red blouse and red-bordered sari with hands clasped, and a woman in white with folded hands and a gold necklace on the right. Behind them, many more men and women in white garments sit with hands folded in prayer or hands on their laps. A woman in a yellow-and-white sari and a few others wear coloured clothing among the white. A wooden pillar and tiled floor are visible on the right.

Many women sit cross-legged in white saris with gold or yellow borders, some with grey hair and flowers, others with long braids. Several men in white dhotis sit or stand toward the back, some bare-chested. Colourful hanging decorations and banners are strung from poles overhead.
