Photograph inside a plain whitewashed hall with blue-painted pillars and tall barred windows, where many men dressed in white shirts and white dhotis sit on mats in a meditation session. In the foreground a bearded man with long hair, an orange-saffron shawl over his white kurta, stands with palms pressed together and eyes closed in prayer, while a younger man beside him also holds his hands in namaste. Several seated participants bow their heads in prayer, and other men in white move around the room. A red banner with a portrait of a long-haired figure in white hangs on the wall, and a speaker sits on a blue stool at right. The scene reflects a prison meditation programme.
