A seated audience of devotees in plain white shirts and white clothing sits on striped red and blue floor mats in a hall with a maroon curtain backdrop. Several men in the foreground rest a finger on the nose or face in a breathing or meditation practice. At the far left front, a figure sits on an ornate gold and orange throne-style chair on a raised platform beside a microphone stand. Large hanging orange and multicolour fabric decorations hang from the ceiling at upper right, and a projection screen stands at the back.

Rows of seated devotees on striped mats wear white kurtas and shirts, many with lanyards, and most have a hand raised to one nostril in a breathing practice. A standing figure in a long white robe with long white hair and a rudraksha-style necklace stands at the back near a white door, apparently facing the room. A small wall screen and a yellow cloth hang on the wall.

A seated group meditation session indoors on striped and red mats, with participants in white clothing. In the centre, a man in an all-white outfit sits cross-legged with his right hand raised to his nose in a breathing practice, eyes closed. Around him, others sit in white and pastel shirts, some with hands folded or fingers at their faces. A blue water bottle rests on the mat. Behind them are red curtains and a red-cushioned chair. A foreground man in white with glasses also holds a hand to his face. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance, so no identity is claimed.
