A photograph of a seated group of about a dozen men meditating outdoors on mats and a woven rug, eyes closed, with a paved path and red-pillared building in the background. In the foreground a man in a grey-green shawl sits cross-legged in white dhoti-style cloth, beside a bald man in a white shirt with a lanyard badge and tilak on his forehead. A man in a light grey hooded sweatshirt and white dhoti sits with hands clasped. Others wear white, saffron-toned and navy clothing; a man in a red shirt stands behind. No single person is clearly identifiable as the a person, so the candidate is left uncertain.
