Two men in white short-sleeved shirts and grey trousers sit cross-legged on a polished black stone platform beneath large banyan trees with exposed roots, meditating with eyes lowered. The man on the left is barefoot and rests one hand on his knee with a ID badge clipped to his shirt; the man on the right wears a gold wristwatch and has a tilak mark on his forehead. Sandy ground and stone edging surround the platform in an outdoor garden setting.

Two men in plain white clothing sit meditatively on large rounded brown rocks amid green bushes and trees on a hillside. The man on the left has short greying hair, a white shirt and white trousers, and sits with bare feet and a loose posture, gazing ahead. The man on the right, with short dark hair and a white shirt and white dhoti-style trousers, sits cross-legged with hands resting in his lap, eyes closed in meditation. Dense foliage and a reddish earth bank rise behind them.

A group of men sit cross-legged on a woven mat outdoors in meditation, eyes closed, hands resting in mudra on their knees or laps. The foreground figure in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a red-and-gold bracelet sits with eyes closed, palms up. To the left a man in a white t-shirt and jeans wears a rudraksha mala and glasses, and beside him a man in a pale green shirt holds his hands on his knees. Behind them rows of seated devotees in white and grey shirts meditate in front of a red-and-white painted wall with potted plants and a speaker stand.

Two shaved-headed men in white sit cross-legged in meditation on bare earth outdoors, eyes closed, hands resting in their laps. Both wear white dhoti-style garments with rudraksha malas around their necks; the man on the right has an orange under-cloth and a silver bangle, and the man on the left wears a white cloth with red borders. Behind them stand grey stone statues of seated figures with tall headdresses, beside an orange wall and green shrubs.

Outdoors on bare earth with scattered grey ash, two men in white ritual dhotis and shawls sit cross-legged in meditation. The man in front has a shaved head, closed eyes, hands resting in his lap, a dark rudraksha mala and a small orange pendant around his neck, and a red-marked forehead. Beside him, a second man with a shaved head and eyeglasses sits with hands folded, wearing a white shawl with red edging and a beaded mala. Tropical plants, a wooden post and a stone wall are behind them.

Two shaved-headed men sit cross-legged on bare earth in meditation outdoors. The man on the left wears white dhoti and shawl with red-edged borders and a rudraksha mala, hands resting in his lap with eyes closed. The man on the right wears a white garment over an orange lower cloth, hands joined in anjali mudra at his chest, with a rudraksha mala and a bangle on his wrist. Behind them are grey stone statues of seated figures against an orange wall with green shrubs and a dark doorway. Neither man shows distinctive long hair, crown or saffron-and-ornament cues, so no identity is claimed.
