Overhead photo of a seated group of devotees on woven straw mats laid over a paved courtyard, all facing away from the camera toward an unseen front. Most wear white kurta-style clothes; others wear a green shirt, a grey top, an orange-striped shirt, a checked shirt and a red t-shirt, and one woman has long dark hair. A blackened ground patch with ash sits behind the group. No one at the front is shown, and no figure is clearly identifiable as a central teacher, so no a person candidate is visible.
