A photograph inside a large hall with cream walls and red curtains, where a man in white kurta and pants stands barefoot on a blue-and-white striped mat, arms raised overhead with palms pressed together in a balancing yoga posture. Beside him, a man in white clothes with curly hair and a red eye mask sits on a red-and-white striped mat with hands folded, head bowed. Behind them, rows of seated participants in white and red clothing fill the hall. Framed portraits hang on the wall above, and a water bottle and black bag rest on the floor.

A photograph of a pranayama or meditation session in a hall with a polished floor. In the foreground a man in a white t-shirt and white trousers sits cross-legged on a red-and-white striped mat, eyes closed, hands clasped, with a white blindfold tied over his eyes. Behind him another seated participant in light clothing and a dark mala wears a white headband. Further back, many participants in white clothes and white headbands sit in rows, and one figure wears a maroon robe. Blurred trays with offerings sit on the floor.

A seated man in a white t-shirt and white trousers sits cross-legged on a red-and-white striped mat, a white cloth tied over his eyes. Behind him, in a marble hall, several other participants in white clothes and white eye-bands sit on mats, and a figure in a maroon robe sits near offerings on a low table. A person in grey to the right, seated and partly visible, is also present. The scene reads as a breathing or pranayama practice session with blindfolded participants.

A photo of a man in a white short-sleeved polo shirt and white trousers squatting barefoot on a red-and-white striped mat in a bright indoor hall with a beige wall, dark red curtains and a row of stanchions with rope in the background. He sits in a deep crouch with his palms pressed together in front of his chest, head bowed, in a posture of prayer or meditation. The setting resembles a yoga or satsang hall. Only one person is visible. No clear appearance-based cue for a person is present, so the figure is described by role as a practitioner in white.

Indoor photograph of a group of devotees in white clothing seated on striped red-and-white mattresses in a room with maroon chairs, pale walls and a curtain. Several participants wear white blindfolds. The central man, bald and in a white long-sleeved top and white trousers, sits cross-legged with his arms spread wide and his mouth open, apparently mid-movement. To the left, a man in white with a white blindfold sits with one hand raised. Others in white with blindfolds sit in the background, and a bald man in white is at the right edge. The setting resembles a meditation or practice session. Watermarked archive image omitted from description.

A photograph of a yoga-style session in a plain room with pink walls and a window. In the foreground a woman in white clothing and a white head band is airborne, one arm raised and body arched over a striped mat, apparently in a levitation-style practice. Behind her another person in white sits on a mat, and a white-headbanded woman sits to the left. On the right, a seated person in an orange garment and orange headband sits with hands folded on a mat.

A photograph in a bright, plain hall with pale pink walls, brown curtains and orange chairs. A central seated man in all-white clothes and a white blindfold sits on a red-and-white striped mat with both arms stretched wide and mouth open. Around him, several men in white robes and white blindfolds sit on mats or chairs; one on the right wears a white dhoti with a red border and a gold-coloured necklace, and another on the left wears grey trousers. A standing man in white is in the back left. Water bottles sit on the floor at right. The scene suggests a group meditation or energy-practice session.

A blurred photograph of a meditation or yoga session in a hall with pink walls and a white ceiling with colourful hanging tassels. A central figure in an all-white outfit and white headband sits cross-legged on a blue-and-white striped mat, motion-blurred mid-movement. Around them, seated participants in white clothes and white headbands sit in rows on mats, several with hands folded or eyes closed, including a shaved-headed man in white with a mala. Orange chairs line the back wall. The scene suggests a group meditation or practice session.
