A photograph of a large seated audience of men dressed in white kurta-style clothing, with rudraksha malas around their necks and white identification lanyards with badges. Several men sit close to the camera in the foreground, one wearing glasses and another holding a white cloth to his face. The rows behind them continue into the dim hall, all attentively facing forward toward an unseen speaker.

A photograph of a seated congregation in a plain yellow-walled hall. In the foreground, a young man with glasses and a rudraksha mala, dressed in white, sits with eyes closed and hands resting in his lap. Beside him, another bespectacled man in white sits with eyes closed. Behind them, rows of men in white shirts and dhotis, many wearing rudraksha malas, sit or stand; a man in orange cloth sits among them, and a few standing men hold their hands together in prayer. The scene is calm and devotional.

Photograph of a large seated crowd of men at an indoor Inner Healing session at the ashram. Nearly all wear white shirts and white dhoti-style clothing, and many wear rudraksha malas around their necks. A man in the foreground left with glasses and a rudraksha mala looks forward, and a shaved-headed man in white with a tilak mark on his forehead sits centre-foreground. Behind them rows of attendees sit closely together under hanging banners and a fan, with a few wearing white ID badges on lanyards. Several people appear to be meditating with eyes closed. The image shows no clearly identifiable candidate for a person in the visible crowd.

A large seated gathering of men in white kurtas and dhotis, many wearing rudraksha malas, sits cross-legged on floor mats in a hall with cream walls. In the foreground, a bespectacled young man with a rudraksha mala closes his eyes in meditation, and a man with a moustache beside him also sits with eyes closed. Behind them, rows of attendees sit with hands folded or calm faces, and a man in an orange shirt sits among them. A man near the back in an orange garment appears to be seated in a more prominent spot. The scene suggests a satsang or meditation session, with the room lit by warm daylight.

Photograph of a seated meditation gathering on a mat indoors. Dozens of devotees in white ritual clothes sit cross-legged in rows, many wearing rudraksha malas, with eyes closed and hands resting in their laps. Plastic white chairs are stacked along the back of the hall. The front row shows a man in a white shirt and white dhoti sitting with hands folded, and a bearded man in white with glasses and a mala holding his hands together. The ceremony appears to be an energy darshan.

A dense audience of mostly men seated closely together in white shirts and trousers, viewed from the front in a large hall. In the centre, a man in a white shirt and dark-rimmed glasses sits with one hand raised near his chest, a dark beaded mala hanging over his shirt and an ID badge on a lanyard. To the right, another man in a white shirt with a thin red line on his forehead sits beside a man in a white shirt wearing a beaded necklace. At lower left, a man in an orange top is partly visible. The faces are attentive and the crowd fills the frame.

A photograph of a seated congregation in white clothing during an indoor gathering. Many men sit cross-legged in rows on a purple mat with a striped border, eyes closed or lowered in meditation. The foreground man on the left wears white kurta-style clothes, wire-rimmed glasses, a moustache and a long rudraksha mala, with hands clasped. Another man in front wears a white shirt and holds his hands together. No figure stands out with a distinctive saffron or ornate presentation, and no one is clearly identifiable as a person. White plastic chairs are visible behind the rows. The scene suggests satsang or meditation.
