A photograph of a crowded courtyard session with many people in orange and saffron robes seated around a large orange-draped table. A shaved-headed man in orange robes with a long dark rudraksha mala and a bead necklace holds a phone and sits across from a young boy in orange who rests his arms on a flat stone slab and writes in an open notebook. Nearby, a man with a wrapped orange head covering and beard sits in a white-and-gold shawl, and a man with long dreadlocks sits with his back to the camera. Grey stone slabs, a small brass tray, a folded red-brown stand and mobile phones lie on the cloth. Other participants in orange and white clothing sit in the background, and a stone pillar stands behind the table.
