A group of about fifteen to twenty people in white clothes kneel and bow forward with their foreheads near the floor on an orange cloth and patterned blue mats in a hall. Many have hands pressed together or resting palm-down near their heads. A white pillar stands in the room, and a standing display board with a diagram sits in the background beside orange curtains. A devotee in a light shirt kneels at the right edge. A mat near the front has the printed word a person. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person.
