The men wear white kurta-style shirts and white dhotis, with rudraksha malas around their necks; the front two have sandalwood or kumkum marks on their foreheads and watches on their wrists. Their eyes are closed and their hands rest on their knees in mudra. Several more meditators are visible behind them, with a few others seated further back, around ten to fifteen people in total.2008-03-13March 13 20082008-03-13A photograph of a seated group of devotees on blue-and-white striped mats in a hall with red chairs and a red curtain.
