A large group of seated men in white kurtas and dhotis sits on orange cushioned mats in a hall with hanging colourful tassel decorations overhead. Many participants cover their eyes with both palms in a meditative practice, several wearing orange waist sashes or yellow belts. One man in the centre wears a white kurta and a small red tilak on his forehead. Another at right wears a white T-shirt printed with a portrait photo and an orange sash. A black headphone rests on the floor in front. No identifiable a person figure is clearly visible in the frame, so the central figure is only a seated devotee.
