A seated congregation in a hall, mostly men, with many people sitting cross-legged on light blue-striped mats. In the foreground a man in a dark grey t-shirt and white dhoti sits with palms pressed together in namaskar, and beside him a man in a white kurta with red lanyard also holds palms together. A bald man in a white kurta and rudraksha mala sits with eyes closed, and a man in a yellow shirt with red mala sits to the right. Behind them rows of men in white and pastel shirts sit on red chairs, and two small children in front wear a green top.

A photograph of a meditation session in a plain room with pale walls and a light curtain. Four men sit on an orange cloth. In the centre foreground, a man with short hair and a beard wears an orange polo shirt, a lanyard badge and beaded necklaces, his eyes closed and hands resting in meditation. Beside him sits a shaved-headed man in white clothes with a dark rudraksha mala. Behind them, a man in white with a red shawl sits on a red chair, and a shaved-headed man in white with a yellow shawl sits with folded hands on the right. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable by appearance, so the a person field is none. Four people are visible.
