A group of about ten people sit in a plain white-walled hall with a thatched roof and large windows, all wearing white blindfold-style bands across their eyes. Several sit cross-legged on striped woven mats in red, green and blue, while others sit on blue plastic chairs. A woman in a red blouse and white sari sits in front, and a man in a saffron-orange robe sits at the right edge near a pillar. Water bottles and a black bag sit on the floor. The scene appears to be a guided meditation or eye-covered practice session.

A photograph of a seated group of devotees in a hall, many wearing black blindfolds over their eyes. Most wear white kurtas or shirts with orange-saffron shawls draped over their shoulders and lanyard-style ID tags around their necks. They sit cross-legged on striped blue-and-white floor mats, with small steel plates set before them and a green water bottle placed on the mat in the centre. Behind them are red upholstered chairs and draped orange fabric. One man in a lilac shirt and dark trousers sits in the background, and a man in a black t-shirt sits on the right. The group appears to be sitting in quiet meditation, with heads bowed and hands resting in their laps.

Most wear white shirts or kurta-style white clothing with orange saffron shawls draped over their shoulders. One man at left wears a white dhoti-style garment and a loose white shawl, and another in the back wears a blue shirt. Several hold their hands in meditation or mudra positions on their laps. Metal plates sit on the mats in front of some devotees, and black bags lie on the floor. Chairs and red-and-white draped furnishings are visible in the background. The scene suggests a blindfolded meditation or sensory exercise rather than a specific named event. Nine or so people are visible, all seated.

A seated group of about a dozen people in a hall wears black blindfolds over their eyes. Most are men in white kurta-style clothes or casual shirts; some wear orange shawls and purple lanyards, and a few wear rudraksha-style beaded malas. They sit on red and black chairs and a plastic chair, with bags on the floor. Behind them a shelf holds small framed pictures and an orange-and-yellow banner hangs on the wall, with red curtains at the side. The scene looks like a guided sensory or meditation exercise. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person.

A large group of devotees sits cross-legged on red-and-white striped mats in a hall during a meditative session. Many wear black blindfolds over their eyes and white or orange-saffron shawls draped over their shoulders, with some in white kurtas and others in pink, teal and black garments. Several wear headphones. Water bottles, a black backpack and a folded purple mat are scattered on the floor in front, and rows of red chairs fill the background. No central teacher or deity is visible in the frame.

A standing person in a bright red sleeveless top and orange skirt with an orange shawl over one shoulder faces the seated group with their back to the camera. Thirty-plus seated participants wear white blindfold-style headbands; many wear white or pastel clothes, a man in a grey hoodie and jeans sits cross-legged, and a man in a white t-shirt and dark trousers sits on his heels in the foreground. A green mat and framed photographs are visible on the wall, and a camera on a tripod stands at the right. Several other people in orange robes are visible in the background.
