A dimly lit hall with a glossy white floor reflecting a row of men kneeling side by side in plain white dhotis and white shirts, many wearing rudraksha malas. One man at the right end wears a red sash printed with text, and another in the middle wears a yellow shawl. A projector screen hangs on the wall above a staircase with metal railings, and a shelf of items stands by a doorway.

A photograph of a row of men kneeling on a polished white floor in a hall with pale pink walls, a projector screen and a stair railing. Most wear white ritual clothes and rudraksha malas; one kneeling man at the right wears a yellow shawl and a white shirt with printed text. Their reflections show in the glossy floor, and an orange cloth edge appears at the lower left. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance cues, so the a person field is unsure. Photo is taken in dim light.

A seated group of young men in white ceremonial clothes sits on an orange mat in a hall during a talk. Several wear lanyards with identity badges, and the front-left man has a rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind them, a man in a white shirt with a badge sits on a red-cushioned chair, hand near his face. Plastic chairs are stacked at the right and water bottles sit on a side table near the back wall.

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.

In the foreground, a bespectacled man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala and a lanyard badge sits with hands folded. Beside him, a man in white with vertical tilak on his forehead sits with eyes closed, and a bald man in white looks down. On the right, a bare-chested man with white ash markings on his arms and forehead wears a white dhoti and red cloth. A child is blurred in the lower foreground, and other seated people are visible in the background.

A seated group of shaved-headed young men in plain white kurta-style clothes sit closely together on a carpeted floor, attentively facing forward. Many wear rudraksha malas and lanyard-style name badges, and several have white or red tilak marks on their foreheads. Behind them stand rows of empty beige plastic chairs, white scaffolding, a hanging decorative cloth and a ceiling fan. A partial orange-robed figure is visible at the bottom left edge. No one is clearly identifiable as a person in this frame.

A photograph of men seated in a row during a satsang, all wearing white shirts and white dhotis or trousers. The man at far right wears a dark rudraksha mala around his neck and sits with eyes closed. Others sit upright with eyes lowered, hands resting on their laps, and a man at the left edge wears glasses and has a shaved head. Behind them, out-of-focus figures in orange and other colours suggest more attendees. The setting is a plain indoor hall with pale walls.

A photograph of a seated group in a bright hall with pale pink walls, grey curtains and a row of maroon chairs at the right. Many men in white kurta-style clothing sit cross-legged on white mats over orange cushions, several performing a breathing or nostril-holding meditation technique with their fingers at the nose. One man in the foreground has a white vibhuti mark on his forehead and a brown mala around his wrist, and a bottle of water sits on the floor. An orange and gold cloth hangs from the top of the wall. Several people are visible, and the scene reads as a meditation session.
