A group of men sit cross-legged on woven mats with coloured borders on a paved hexagonal-tile courtyard, facing away from the camera toward an unseen teacher. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis or trousers, while others wear a striped red-and-navy polo, a light blue shirt, a beige shirt and a grey top with a navy cap. Behind them stands a dirt ground with circular concrete pits and a red-based white pedestal at the right edge. The setting suggests a seated meditation or satsang session outdoors.
