A photograph of seated participants in an indoor meditation therapy session on a mat-covered floor. In the foreground, a man in white kurta and white trousers, wearing a dark wooden rudraksha mala and a bangle on his wrist, sits cross-legged while holding hands with a younger man in white who sits with his back partly turned. Behind them, more seated people in white and light-coloured clothing hold hands in a circle, with a grey wall in the background. The scene suggests a group energy or healing exercise.

In the foreground, a young man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala stands and places his hands on the head of a seated older man with grey hair, who wears a white shirt. Behind them, several men in white and orange or saffron shawls look on, one wearing a gold bangle and another with a gold chain. A white plastic chair and white cloth covers are visible at the edge. The scene reads as a blessing or initiation moment.

Seated devotees in white ritual clothes sit on orange cloth mats in a hall during a puja or satsang. Several men wear white kurtas and dhotis with black-and-white beaded malas and pendants, and bare-chested young men wear white dhotis bordered with red and tilaka marks on their foreheads and arms. The man at centre gestures with his hands in front of brass plates, small brass lamps and bowls of yellow offerings. Plastic containers and green bowls sit on the floor.

A man in an orange-saffron top and bright orange mala, with glasses and a wristwatch, is seated centre-right and receives hand gestures and touches from several seated men around him. Others in white and pale pink shirts lean in, with hands raised toward him. A woman in a white top and glasses sits behind them.

Several men seated in a hall in white ritual clothing perform a breathing or nasal practice, one hand raised to the nose. The foreground man wears a dark rudraksha mala, a red-and-white tilak on his forehead and a pendant, and sits cross-legged on a mat. The man beside him wears a white shirt with a red lanyard, and a bald man on the right wears a white dhoti with gold borders, bare-shouldered, pressing fingers to his nose. Behind them, other people in white and a man with a yellow scarf stand or sit in the blurred background.

A man in a green collared shirt sits with hands clasped, and a shaved-headed man in white wears a rudraksha mala and a vermilion tilak. Chairs and other seated people in white clothing are visible behind them, and a white plastic bag lies on the mat. No identifiable a person figure is visible in the scene.

A photograph of a healing session with a man lying supine on a white sheet, eyes closed and mouth open, his head and body being touched by several people. Four or five helpers in plain white shirts and dhotis, some wearing rudraksha malas, place their palms on his forehead, chest and legs. Gold bangles are visible on the wrists of two helpers. The setting appears to be a plain hall with white bedding. The scene is a hands-on healing or mass healing practice.
