February 27 20092009-02-27A large hall during a meditation session where many seated participants wear white blindfolds tied across their eyes. Most sit cross-legged on white and red floor mats in rows, many in white shirts and kurtas, some in checked shirts, a blue shirt, a grey t-shirt and a green sari. Red curtains hang at tall windows, and stacked red-cushioned chairs stand along the back wall. A woman in white in the foreground sits with her eyes covered. No a person candidate is visible.2012-03-30A photograph of a large hall where many seated participants sit on striped mats with white cloth blindfolds tied over their eyes, a meditation or sensory-awareness practice. Front-row women wear white saris with gold borders, a green sari, a red-and-white checked salwar and a pink sari; many also wear name badges and rudraksha or bead necklaces. Behind them men in white shirts and dark trousers sit in rows on the floor, and a few people stand near red curtains at the left. Books, water bottles and bags lie on the mats. White pillars and a red-and-white wall frame the room, and no a person figure is visible.2011-07-17February 27 20092009-02-27March 31 20122012-03-31A seated group of attendees sits cross-legged on colourful striped mats in a hall with white walls and white plastic chairs behind them. Many wear white ritual clothes, and several have white cloth headbands tied across their foreheads. A young woman in a maroon cardigan sits centre-front with hands in her lap, while a man in white with a rudraksha mala and white headband sits at right with eyes closed. Others sit on chairs in grey and blue shirts, a woman in a purple sari sits at the back, and bags lie on the floor. The scene shows a meditation or darshan session at a convention, with no visible central figure on a throne.2010-01-31A photograph of a large hall where many seated participants wear white or light shirts and trousers, each with a white blindfold or headband over the eyes, and a lanyard-style badge. They sit on a red, green and beige patterned carpet facing a person in the foreground on the left, seen from behind with long dark hair and an orange garment, seated in front of a white cloth screen with a microphone on a stand. Blue chairs line the back wall beside beige curtains and recessed ceiling lights. The orange-clad person is seen only from behind, so no identification is made2004-10-16A seated pranayama session in a pale pink hall with white-curtained windows and an orange cloth hanging from the top edge. Dozens of participants sit on striped red-and-white mats, most wearing white clothes and white headbands over their eyes. A standing figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe with a draped shawl, long dark hair swept back, stands barefoot near the centre, facing the seated group. A person in a white dress stands near the back wall, and a man in a yellow-brown shirt sits at the lower right. The overall scene is a group breathing exercise with eyes covered.2011-01-22February 11 20162016-02-11December 19 20102010-12-19A large indoor hall filled with seated attendees, most wearing white blindfolds or white cloth tied over their eyes, sitting on white chairs and on the floor along red carpeted aisles. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears a flowing saffron-orange robe and walks slowly down the red carpet between the rows, appearing to address the gathering; the appearance-based label is probable, given the saffron robe and long swept-back hair, but the face is not discernible enough to confirm. Attendees wear white shirts, kurtas, pale saris and checked shirts, some with name badges. The scene reflects a structured group session.2009-01-31A large outdoor tent event with a crowd of many seated participants, most in white clothes, wearing white blindfolds or eye coverings over their eyes during a meditation session. A woman with long dark hair stands at the front centre in a saffron-orange garment, apparently leading the session. Red plastic chairs and draped white and red fabric decorate the tent. Many participants have identity lanyards. The scene suggests an Arogya Yoga meditation programme in progress.2006-11-26
