Photograph of a large group seated cross-legged on orange cloth mats during a meditation session. Many participants wear white clothing and red lanyards with name badges, and several have hands raised to their faces with fingers pressed over eyes, nose and ears in a sense-withdrawal practice. A man in the centre wears white with an orange Om symbol and a red-and-black beaded mala, pressing his eyes with both hands. Children in striped shirts and colourful clothing sit in the foreground, watching. Two strangers in white lie on the right edge, and a water bottle and bags are placed on the mats. No a person candidate is clearly visible.

A group of people in white clothes sit cross-legged on a patterned carpet during a meditation session, covering their eyes with their hands. In the foreground a man with short dark hair and a rudraksha mala covers his face, beside a young man with light brown hair wearing a white shirt, white trousers and a red lanyard with an ID badge. Behind them more participants in white and red lanyards repeat the same hand posture. The scene suggests a satsang gathering with meditation.

A photograph of a large seated group of men in white dhotis and white shirts, many wearing rudraksha malas, sitting on orange mats in a hall. Most have both hands raised to cover their eyes in a devotional gesture, while others sit with hands folded in their laps. Brass plates with offerings, small pink containers and a red and white banner with lettering are visible in the room. Some people in the back row wear casual clothes and a few stand near an orange cloth hanging at the top right. No person is clearly identifiable as a person in this image.

A large group of seated practitioners performs a breathing and hand-gesture meditation in a hall. Many wear white dhotis with yellow borders and orange or saffron cloths; some wear rudraksha malas. In the foreground, a man in white with a red-brown rudraksha mala and a name badge presses his thumbs to his nostrils while raising his forearms, and beside him a bald man in white with a rudraksha mala does the same. Behind them rows of people in white and orange sit with hands raised to their faces, and some have white tilak on their foreheads. Several wear bangles and wristwatches. Nobody in the image is clearly identifiable as a person, so no candidate is marked.

A large hall filled with seated devotees in white ritual clothing, many with rudraksha malas around their necks, performing a eyes-covered meditation posture with palms pressed over their eyes. Several front-row participants wear white dhotis with saffron or orange borders and sit cross-legged on a glossy floor. At the far right edge, a table holds steel vessels, bowls and a small brass dish. In the background, a maroon and saffron backdrop and orange drapes frame the room, with a few standing attendants at the back. No individual is clearly identifiable as a specific guru figure in this frame, so no a person candidate is asserted.
