A seated audience of many people fills a meeting room during a Dhyana Spurana programme; most attendees sit on the floor on white mats and cushions, dressed in white, light blue and denim. At the front a woman in a saffron-orange robe sits cross-legged on a raised white-draped platform decorated with orange flowers, with a second woman in a pale pink top seated beside her. A banner on the wall reads a printed caption with a portrait of a bearded elderly man in a dark setting. A man in white sits at a table with a laptop on the left, and a video camera on a tripod is set up in front. Water bottles sit among the audience.
