A photograph inside a large hall with cream walls and a polished floor, where many people sit cross-legged on purple and pink mats in white ritual clothes with saffron-orange shawls. In the foreground a man with short dark hair and a long plaited rudraksha-style mala down his back sits on a white mat, wearing a white dhoti with gold border and a white upper cloth, reading a sheet of paper. Beside him a man with grey hair and glasses reads from a booklet, and to the left a bearded man in glasses sits with hands in his lap. Many other participants sit in rows behind them.

A photograph of a large hall with seated devotees on mats. In the foreground, three men sit cross-legged with palms joined in prayer, wearing white dhotis with orange-gold borders and red rudraksha malas. The man on the far left has long hair tied back, a bare chest with bead armbands, and an orange-gold shawl. The centre man has white hair and a white forehead mark. The man on the right wears glasses, a white shawl with gold border, and a red mala, with tripundra markings on his forehead. Behind them rows of seated devotees, some in orange and white clothing, sit in a bright hall with framed wall artwork. No candidate can be confidently matched to the named teacher from appearance alone, so the identity is left unsure.

Seated devotees in white ritual clothing sit in meditation during a large indoor satsang hall with carpeting and a row of seated and standing attendees behind them. In the foreground, a bald man with a vertical white tilak and wire-rimmed glasses sits with hands folded, wearing a white kurta and brown rudraksha mala. Beside him, a man in a white kurta and rudraksha mala sits with hands resting in lap. At right, a man with a red bindi and white tilak wears a dense brown rudraksha mala with a small pendant and an orange wrist band, eyes closed, hands folded. Several other seated participants in white and a name badge are visible behind them.

A seated group of men in white shirts and white dhotis sits on red floor mats in a hall with red curtains, appearing to attend a meditation or yoga session. Several wear orange-red beaded malas around their necks, and one on the right wears a rudraksha mala with a small red flower at his collar. Some have tilak marks on their foreheads, and others sit with hands folded or resting on their knees. Behind them, more seated participants fill the room. The scene reflects a delegate gathering at a Nithya Dhyan Yoga session.

A seated indoor gathering of men in white shirts wearing long rudraksha mala garlands. In the foreground, a man with grey-streaked hair, a red forehead mark and a dark beaded mala with a pendant sits upright, gazing forward, with a gold bracelet on his wrist and a pen clipped to his shirt pocket. Beside him, a man with a moustache and white ash on his forehead, also in a white shirt and rudraksha garland, looks ahead. Blurred figures and a partly visible man on the right fill the background, with a red curtain and framed pictures on the wall behind them. The setting suggests a satsang or programme audience.
