A photograph of a meditation session in an indoor hall where about a dozen people sit cross-legged on mats and cushions, facing away from the camera toward a front area. Most participants wear white blindfold-style cloths tied around their heads; clothing includes white kurtas, a green striped shirt, a checked shirt and a dark sweater. Behind them, a large portrait of a saffron-robed figure with a swept-back hairstyle is displayed on a wall screen, next to a chakra diagram of a seated figure and a hanging banner reading Ananda Spurana Program. A white chair stands at the left side of the room. Yellow curtains hang over a window and a fan is mounted on the wall.

A group of about twenty-five people sit cross-legged on floor cushions in a bright hall with white tiled floor, all wearing white cloth blindfolds over their eyes. Foreground figures include a woman in a blue salwar outfit, a woman in a red saree, a woman in a dark red saree, and a man in a white shirt with his hands resting on his knees. Some men stand at the back in white and light clothing. Behind them are bookshelves, white plastic chairs, a yellow curtain and a flat-screen television. A framed grid of photographs hangs on the wall above, showing a sannyasi-style figure in saffron and other scenes. The activity appears to be a blindfolded meditation or eye-closed session.

Most participants wear white cloths tied over their eyes as a blindfold for a meditation exercise. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt and cream trousers sits with hands on his knees, a woman in a red salwar kameez sits at left, and a man in a green striped polo shirt sits at right. Several others stand at the back near white plastic chairs. A banner with framed photographs hangs on the far wall.

A banner on the wall reads ANANDA SPURANA PROGRAM with a portrait of a smiling figure in an orange turban, labelled Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Participants wear white kurtas, a green polo shirt, saris and salwar kameez, sitting on red and yellow mats while listening attentively. Green curtains and a wall fan are visible at right.

A group of participants sit cross-legged on blue-and-white striped mats in a hall with terracotta-tiled floor, all wearing white cloth blindfolds over their eyes. Most wear white or pale shirts and dhotis or trousers, with some in yellow, green and dark clothing; several have name badges. Many hands rest in meditative postures. Walls are pale and a dark curtain hangs at right. No a person candidate is visibly present; the seated group occupies the scene, and the attendees are in a meditative blindfolded exercise. About 60 people are visible.
