Most wear white kurta-style clothes, many with yellow or red waist cords, and they sit cross-legged on orange and pink mats. Nearly everyone has both hands raised with palms covering their eyes, a yoga-style practice of sensory withdrawal. In the foreground a bald man in white sits on an orange mat with his palms over his eyes, and a man in white with a yellow sash does the same nearby. A few blue and yellow garments appear in the crowd, and a harmonium lies on the floor at the back.2010-09-09A large group of seated participants in white clothing sits on orange mats and white floor in a hall with peach walls and orange hanging banners.
