Photograph of several men seated cross-legged in a hall, their eyes covered by red-and-black checked cloths tied at the back of the head, apparently for a blindfolded meditation or exercise. They wear white dhoti-style garments with gold borders and bare shoulders, plus green-and-white lanyards around their necks. The man in the centre has a brown bead band on his upper arm and a gold bracelet, hands resting in a mudra on his knees. Blurred orange and red fabrics appear in the background. No visible identification of any individual is possible from appearance alone.
