A white pedestal fan and blue plastic chair are in the room. Timestamp 06.25.2008 20:11 is printed on the photo.

A photograph of a meeting in a plain whitewashed room with a window and a yellow door. A seated figure in orange robes sits on a white-draped bed or platform, holding up a large white sheet of paper, with a small offering dish beside him. A younger man in an orange robe kneels nearby, and a standing man in white clothes gestures toward the seated figure. Around twenty schoolchildren in white uniforms sit cross-legged on colourful striped mats, many with hair in braids or ponytails. A framed picture with orange-and-yellow flowers hangs on the back wall, and a blue plastic chair stands at left. A date stamp reads 06.25.2008.

Indoor photo of a group of children seated cross-legged in rows on striped woven mats, dressed in white clothing, with eyes closed or lowered as if in meditation. In the centre-back sits a figure in orange robes on a wooden chair in front of a hanging orange and gold cloth, appearing to lead the session; visible cues are limited, so his identity is uncertain. Brass oil lamps are arranged on a cloth at the left edge, and a few children wear vibhuti marks and beaded necklaces. The walls are cream and a small decorative lamp with flowers hangs above the wall.
