A large hall with a corrugated metal roof and yellow steel trusses shows thin rows of children seated and bent over sheets of paper on blue mats. Many wear white t-shirts printed with "I MEDITATE" and purple caps, and they draw or write with pens and pencils. Adults in white move among them near a small table with a glass arrangement at the back. A purple banner on the right shows a portrait of a bearded man and the word Dhyanapeetham. Windows with lattice grilles line the walls. The scene shows a children's residential programme with about several dozen visible participants and a few adult helpers.
