A photograph of a small home room with wooden floors, potted plants and white curtains, where about eight people sit cross-legged on woven rugs and cushions in a circle, watching toward a figure out of frame. A woman in white sits at the left beside a small table with an offering of white flowers, a brass or copper bowl and a lamp. Other participants wear dark sweaters, jeans and a green sweater, and one man in a black top sits at the right. The scene reads as a quiet group sitting, with no visible Swamiji candidate in the frame.
