Photograph of a large hall filled with seated children and adults, mostly boys in white shirts, colourful polos and striped tees, sitting cross-legged or on the tiled floor on orange mats. Many wear name badges on lanyards. Behind them, men and women in white dhotis and saris stand along a wall with wooden doors, and a few people in white and pink shirts are visible. A woman with light hair sits at left. The setting appears to be a satsang or ashram gathering. No a person candidate is clearly visible in the frame.

A seated crowd of devotees sits in long rows on mats on a polished floor in a hall, eyes closed in meditation. In the foreground a boy in a khaki-olive short-sleeved shirt with embroidered birds and a red lanyard sits with hands folded and a red bindi on his forehead.
