In the foreground a girl in a yellow top and pink skirt sits with hands folded, a vermilion mark on her forehead and a name badge on her chest. Beside her a young boy in a white kurta sits with eyes closed, next to another boy in white and a woman in a teal top and glasses. At the far right a man in a salmon-pink shirt sits with hands on his knees. At the left edge a girl in a maroon top sits on a blue mat beside a silver tray with flowers and a brass vessel, and a dark stone deity figure with a garland is partly visible at the top left.

About fifteen people sit cross-legged on a green mat in rows, eyes closed or lowered, hands folded in laps. Most wear plain shirts and dhotis or trousers in orange, pink, red, white and striped colours; a few wear rudraksha malas. In the foreground a figure with a hair bun and white clothing with a yellow shawl sits with back to the camera before a bare ash-covered pit on the ground. A plastic chair sits at left. No identifiable a person appearance is visible, so the scene is recorded as a group meditation with the seated figure in the foreground facing the group.2010-07-15July 20 20102010-07-20December 24 20082008-12-24A seated group of around fifteen people sits in meditation on a low platform in front of an orange temple building with white steps.
