Many wear blue lanyard badges and rudraksha or beaded malas. In the front row, a shaved-headed man in white with a mala sits in meditation beside a woman in white with a mala. A few women wear saffron and yellow saris. A camera operator is visible at the lower right. Nothing identifies a presiding figure in view, and the scene reads as a meditation or satsang session.
