A group of about a dozen people sit cross-legged in meditation on an orange and purple mat on a paved courtyard in front of an orange wall with white and red striped border and potted plants. Most wear white ritual clothing, some with rudraksha malas and forehead markings, and a few in white dhotis and orange-and-white shawls. A man in a red jacket and khaki trousers sits at the far right edge, watching. The scene looks like group meditation, with eyes closed and hands resting on laps. No person here is clearly identified as a person; the seated figures are devotees and practitioners.

Many wear white shirts and white dhoti-style cloth, while others wear blue jeans, striped shirts, or orange-brown shirts. Several wear lanyards around their necks. Behind them is an orange wall with a white base painted with red vertical stripes, green shrubs, and a loudspeaker on a stand. A pile of grey ash lies on the ground at the left edge, near the seated group. A single standing figure in white with a beard and a white garment is at the upper right beside the wall.

A group of men sit cross-legged on striped woven mats in an outdoor courtyard for silent meditation with eyes closed and hands resting in their laps. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis, while a few wear grey shirts and grey trousers. Several have lanyard ID badges around their necks. Behind them stands a white wall with red vertical stripes and a bed of orange marigolds and green foliage. A man in an orange shirt sits on a low ledge in the background. No identifiable a person figure is present, so the a person field is none.

Most adults wear white shirts and white dhotis, with rudraksha malas around their necks, while several boys wear casual shirts and shorts; some have name badges pinned to their clothes. A man in white stands far left on a dirt path and another figure in white stands behind the group at the wall. Greenery and a wooden pillar frame the right side. The attendees appear to be listening quietly with eyes closed or lowered.
