A seated group of devotees in white kurta-style clothing wears saffron-orange shawls and rudraksha malas with orange lanyards. Two men in the foreground have thin grass or kusha-like strands placed on their heads during a ritual. The man on the left, eyes closed, raises one hand to touch the strand on his head, while the man on the right, grey-haired and in cream clothing, sits with palms pressed together in prayer. Behind them other participants sit with eyes closed.

Photo of a seated group of devotees at a Samyama session, many in white kurta-style clothes with orange-red shawls and orange lanyards with name badges. A young man in front has long curly hair, a beard, a white t-shirt and a brown rudraksha mala, eyes closed. Beside him a man in white and a younger man with a small gold ornament in his hair sit with eyes closed. On the right an older man with a white forehead marking and mustache rests his hand on his head. Some people are partly visible at the edges. No clearly identifiable a person appearance is present among the visible people.

A seated group practice in a hall with red floor mats and stacked chairs in the background. Men in white kurtas and red-orange shawls sit with both hands raised to their heads, fingers resting on the crown, as in a yoga or meditative exercise. Several wear lanyards and earphones; the front-left man has a rudraksha mala and wears glasses. A man in front wears a white tilak across his forehead and sits with eyes closed.

Photo of several men seated closely together at an indoor session, each with both hands clasped behind or on top of their heads and eyes closed, appearing to be in a guided meditation or healing exercise. The men wear white shirts and red-orange scarves printed with dark script, and some wear rudraksha bracelets and a wristwatch. A blue backdrop and a yellow pole are visible behind them, and a partially visible person in the foreground on the right also holds his head. Several men are visible, roughly four to six people in total.

A seated man in white kurta with a red-and-orange printed shawl and a red bindi and white forehead marks closes his eyes while holding a bundle of grass or stalks on his head with both hands. Gold bangles and red-beaded bracelets are on his wrists. Other devotees in white and orange sit on red cushions behind him. The setting suggests a ritual sitting, with the man in a receptive, meditative posture during the ceremony.

Several men sit cross-legged on a light floor in a hall, applying white sacred ash to their foreheads with their fingertips. The foreground man in the centre wears a red shawl over white clothing with gold trim and a gold bangle. The man on the right wears cream-colored garments and a red shawl, with a white forehead mark. Behind them, others in white dhotis and red shawls also apply vibhuti, and a bald man on the left wears a gold wristwatch and a white outfit with gold edging. Tables and chairs are blurred in the background.
