A photograph of a large hall where many devotees sit cross-legged on striped mats in meditation, eyes closed, hands resting on their knees or laps. Most wear white kurtas or white shirts and trousers; a man in the foreground centre has a bald head and a white shirt, and a bearded man at left wears a white t-shirt. A woman in a pale pink sleeveless top and teal trousers sits near the left, and a man in a teal shirt sits to the right. Behind them, golden statues and a deity murti stand on a raised altar, with red chairs lining the far wall. No candidate for a person is visible among those seated, so the scene shows a satsang or meditation session with devotees.

A group of about a dozen people sit cross-legged on blue and teal yoga mats in a large hall during a yoga session. Most wear white clothing and beaded rudraksha-style malas; one man at front left wears a white shirt, and a woman in the back wears an orange top. Several participants have their eyes closed or gaze upward. Behind them hang large vertical banners of women in saffron and red, and a framed portrait of an older bearded man sits on a stand at right, with a tall white lattice structure and a small table with water bottles nearby.

A seated group meditation in a plain hall with cream walls and red curtains. In the foreground, a grey-haired man in a white polo and white trousers sits cross-legged on a striped mat with his eyes closed, hands resting on his knees. Beside him a bald man in a white t-shirt printed with a yellow-orange flame motif sits in meditation with eyes closed and hands clasped. A man in a pink polo on the right and several others in white and grey shirts sit or stand behind them, some with lanyards and name badges.

A large seated gathering of devotees in a bright hall, many dressed in white kurta-style clothing and sitting cross-legged on pale cushioned mats with orange-red edging. In the foreground a shaved-headed man in white sits with hands resting near his knees, eyes lowered in meditation. Beside him a young man in a white t-shirt with a lanyard sits in a meditative posture. Further right, a man in white wears a rudraksha-style mala around his neck. Rows of participants fill the background, with a small black phone resting on a mat. The atmosphere is calm and focused.

A photograph of a yoga or meditation circle on a light tiled floor indoors. Around eight people sit cross-legged in a ring: a man in a grey t-shirt and dark trousers, an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti-style trousers with a lanyard, several women in white and cream kurtas and salwars, one woman in a yellow kurta, and a woman with grey hair in a blue top. Several hold their hands in mudra positions on their knees. Behind them are a whiteboard on an easel, a stack of folded orange and maroon cloths, and a yellow plastic chair. No deity, throne or a person depiction is visible.

A seated congregation of devotees in white clothing with eyes closed, many wearing rudraksha malas and small ID badges on lanyards, in a hall with orange-red chairs. In the foreground, a bald man with a beard and mala sits with eyes lowered, a clean-shaven man in a white striped shirt sits centrally with head bowed, and a bald man in white with a dark mala sits at right. Other attendees in white and one in orange sit behind. The posture suggests meditation or listening to a discourse.

A large group of young men in plain white clothes sits cross-legged in rows on a blue and striped mat inside a hall with a concrete floor. Many wear white kurtas or shirts and beaded necklaces, some with rudraksha-style malas, and several have hands folded in their laps. They face forward toward an unseen front, with a white curtain and an elevated platform visible at the back. The scene resembles a meditation or satsang session. No single figure is clearly identifiable as the a person in this crowd.
