A photograph of a meditation or satsang hall with a tiled floor and thatched roof. A large chart of a blue human figure seated in lotus pose shows the chakras, with a Tamil heading reading Shakti Mayangal (Chakras). Several people sit on white plastic chairs and mats facing a raised stage. One woman in a yellow and white sari sits in a cushioned chair on the stage beneath a framed portrait of a woman in orange robes, with a small floral offering beside her. A seated woman in a purple top and a white-clad woman sit in the foreground, and a child in a teal top sits on a mat at right. A ceiling fan and a dark curtain complete the setting.
