A night-time outdoor meditation session with several seated devotees on a red mat in front of dark bamboo. In the centre, a man in a black sleeveless vest over a dark top, with tattoos of Om symbols on his forearms and a rudraksha mala, sits cross-legged with eyes open and hands folded. Around him, men in white kurta-style clothes and rudraksha malas sit with eyes closed, some with tilak marks on their foreheads; one man on the left wears a red cap and another wears a dark jacket. A visible copper vessel sits at the lower right edge.

Three seated men in white dhotis with orange-and-cream shawls printed with dark script face a monk in orange robes and an orange turban at left, who is also seated and turned toward them. The man at right has long swept-back hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a beard, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial pendant, with eyes closed and hands folded. The man in the centre wears a rudraksha mala and beaded jewellery, and the man at left has a bare upper body with a shawl. Behind them a large screen and a bright hall with seated devotees in orange appear. The scene looks like a satsang or meditation session.

A seated man with eyes closed in meditation, wearing a white t-shirt, a red-orange shawl and a long rudraksha mala with dark brown beads. His hair is tied up with a dark headband. Behind him, several seated participants in white clothing with orange and red shawls sit in a room with pink walls, appearing to be in a group meditation or yoga session.

Photograph of a ritual scene indoors with warm, dim lighting. A bare-chested man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead stands centrally, wearing many layered rudraksha-style beaded malas and large gold ornamental necklaces, and bends over a cloth-covered tray or book held on a blue cloth. Beside him on the left, a young man in an orange-red cloth wears a rudraksha mala and gold chain and holds a pink-wrapped book. On the right, a figure in a rust-red turban and gold earrings leans in, reaching toward the central man. Several other men stand in the background, one in a white shirt, one with a shaved head and tilak. The central man's cues are beaded malas, gold necklaces and long hair, but his role is a priest or devotee in a ritual, so the identity is uncertain.

A photograph in a dimly lit hall washed in red light. A bearded man with short dark curly hair sits with eyes closed, face calm, wearing a red-toned kurta with a button-down collar and a red rudraksha mala draped over his chest. Blurred people sit in the background, also bathed in red light.

A photograph of several men seated in meditation in a row, eyes closed, hands resting in mudra-like gestures. They wear rudraksha malas around their necks and sacred white ash or marks on their foreheads and upper arms; the man at right and the man second from left wear orange-saffron cloth draped over their bodies. The foreground figures are bare-chested with prominent rudraksha beads, and the scene suggests a group meditation or satsang session. No readable text is visible in the frame.

A photograph of a row of shaved-headed men in orange and saffron-clad sannyasi attire seated in meditation, eyes closed, with white vibhuti stripes across their foreheads and upper arms. The central man in an orange shawl wears rudraksha malas and small gold hoop earrings, his hands held in a mudra. Others beside him wear beaded necklaces and similar orange cloth, and a blurred row of seated devotees in orange continues in the background. The setting appears to be an indoor hall during a meditation or satsang session.
