A large crowd of devotees in white clothes stands with both arms raised, palms open and outstretched, during a group meditation or satsang session. Many have closed eyes and calm expressions. Behind them hangs a red banner with a large smiling portrait of a figure wearing an orange turban and orange robes. Above, orange and red-and-white tasselled decorations hang from the ceiling. Several men wear rudraksha malas and wristbands. The scene suggests a collective kriya or guided meditation with arms lifted.
