A photograph of a large hall where many people sit on mattresses on the floor, most with heads bowed and hands pressed together in prayer or meditation. Men in white kurta-style clothes, saffron and orange robes, and a person in a yellow shawl are visible, along with children in colourful shirts and a woman in the lower right. Red-cushioned chairs are stacked along the left wall beside pink curtains and tall windows, and a black screen hangs from the ceiling. Framed pictures hang on the wall above. The scene suggests a group satsang or puja session. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance alone.2011-12-25November 29 20112011-11-29November 17 20112011-11-17A seated group of men in white and light-coloured clothing sit on a blue-and-white striped mat in a hall with red-cushioned chairs and red curtains behind them.
