Indoor ritual gathering in a small room with white walls, a flat-screen TV, a wall-mounted air conditioner and a framed tree picture. A person in an ornate red-and-gold garment with a tall gold crown, floral garlands and red flowers sits on the floor at the lower left, receiving attention. Nearby, a woman in a red sari and a man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stand among devotees in white and cream sarees and dhotis. Several people with folded hands or touching the floor, and a basket of yellow limes sits in front. A camera crew films at right. On the wall, a poster reads Free Kriya Meditation and Healing and shows a figure in orange robes with a crown-like headdress. The scene resembles a blessing or abhishekam-style ceremony, though the exact rite is not clear.
