A photograph of a large group of seated devotees in a bright hall with orange-brown floor tiles and blue-and-maroon mats. Most people sit cross-legged with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, many in white clothes, some in white with coloured borders or pastel salwar kameez. A woman in a red top sits in front with hands folded, and a person in white and orange kneels at the right edge near a mat marked with a website. Handbags and bags sit on the floor, and the group appears to be in prayer or meditation during a bhakti yoga session. No person is clearly identifiable as a person in this view.
