A photograph of a seated group of devotees in a hall with orange mats, most wearing red blindfolds over their eyes. Several men are bare-chested, wearing white dhotis with yellow or gold borders, rudraksha-style pendant necklaces and white ash or sandal streaks on their chests and arms. In the centre, a young man in a white dhoti with a red blindfold sits beside a small boy in a white dhoti and red blindfold, both with pendant necklaces. Pink and yellow paper notes and a pink bag lie on the orange mats in front. The scene suggests a Third Eye meditation or Nayana Deeksha practice, though no a person figure is clearly visible.

A photograph of seated devotees in a ritual hall with a red floor covering. Several men, mostly bare-chested with white and gray ash marks on their foreheads and chests, wear white dhotis and gold chains; many have red cloths tied over their eyes. Two men in the foreground sit cross-legged, one holding his hands together. A bowl of limes sits at right beside a water bottle and orange papers.

A photograph of a large seated group of men in a hall with red floor mats, all wearing white or pale blindfolds over their eyes. Many wear white kurta-style clothing, some with rudraksha malas around their necks, and several have conference-style name badges on their chests. Some sit in lotus or cross-legged postures with hands resting on laps, and some hold papers. Orange and yellow cloth pieces and a water bottle lie on the mats in front. Red and orange tones dominate the scene, and the group appears to be engaged in a blindfolded meditation exercise.

A large seated gathering of devotees in an indoor hall, most wearing white kurta-and-dhoti or white shirts and white blindfolds tied over their eyes. Many wear red-brown rudraksha malas around their necks, and some have name badges on their clothing. They sit cross-legged on mats on the floor in rows, appearing to meditate in a Nithya Dhyana Yoga session. Along the right edge, a figure in orange robes sits near the front, and warm lamp-lit walls and a decorated ornamental backdrop frame the hall. The crowd fills the frame, with hundreds of people visible.

Most have bare chests, white dhotis, white beaded necklaces and red cloth blindfolds tied across their eyes, with white ash markings on their skin. Several seated figures press palms together or rest hands on their knees. In the background, standing attendants in white shirts and dhotis stand near a drum and illuminated deity murti decorated with garlands and flowers. A bright green-lit backdrop and festive decorations surround the scene.

A large seated group of devotees in white clothes with red-orange shawls draped over their shoulders, most wearing black blindfolds over their eyes. They sit closely packed on a white floor covering in a tent-like hall, many with shaved heads, some holding small objects in their hands. A wooden lectern stands at the left edge and a table with a yellow cloth is visible at the upper right. Several participants are seated in folding chairs among the group. The scene suggests a seated ritual or initiation gathering, though no specific deity or ritual object is clearly identifiable.
