A photograph in a bright hall with a cream wall and a glossy tiled floor. A woman with short white hair and a red bindi, wearing a white sari and a rudraksha mala, stands behind a seated woman and rests her right hand on the seated woman's head in a blessing or healing gesture. The seated woman has her eyes closed, hair tied back, and wears a pale green embroidered kurta with grey patterned harem trousers, a rudraksha mala, and bare feet; her hands rest in her lap. She sits in a black armchair with a red cushion. Behind them a tall brass oil lamp with a rooster finial burns, beside a banner reading Dhyanapeetha Meditation and Healing and All are Welcome, showing a portrait of a smiling figure with long hair in orange robes. A table draped in white holds lotus and marigold arrangements.
