A large seated group of devotees meditates with eyes closed inside a bright hall with a tiled floor. Most wear white shirts or kurtas, while some younger attendees wear orange, red and striped shirts. In the foreground a man in a white shirt sits cross-legged with hands in a meditation mudra, and a man in a maroon t-shirt and white dhoti-style pants sits beside him with eyes closed. A bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a golden border sits at right with head bowed. Several men wear rudraksha malas and vibhuti. Standing figures in white and a woman in a red sari appear at the back, near folding chairs and a water bottle. No identifiable a person figure is visible.

A crowded indoor hall where a seated audience of men and boys sits on the floor in rows, facing forward. Most men wear white kurta and dhoti or white shirts, with a few in orange and yellow; a bald man in white sits near the centre, and a bearded man in a yellow shirt with a beaded necklace stands at the back. Boys in shirts of green, pink, mint, orange and checked patterns sit cross-legged on mats in front. Some hold small brass items and offerings on cloth in front of them. Pink curtains hang at the windows and pale walls frame the room. No individual is identifiable as a person in this photo.

A large seated audience fills a bright hall with pink walls and red curtains, attending a programme in a meditative posture on red-striped mats. Many men wear white kurtas and dhotis, some with rudraksha malas and lanyards; a few wear blue or striped shirts. In the foreground, several boys sit cross-legged, and one front-row man in a white shirt and mala presses his palms together in namaste. Standing figures line the back wall. No one in the frame is clearly identifiable as a person, and no one is sitting on a throne or raised seat.

A seated audience fills a hall with folded blue-and-red striped mats and stacked bedding in the background, with pink curtains at the top left. Many young boys and men sit cross-legged on the floor, most in plain shirts, white dhotis and white kurtas. Several wear rudraksha malas, and some boys have sacred ash or kumkum marks on their foreheads. Some look down, some hold phones, and a bearded man in an orange-brown jacket sits near the centre. A figure in white sits at the far left. No single speaker or deity is clearly visible; the scene reads as a satsang-style gathering.
