A photograph of a group dance or energy session in a hall with a tiled floor and red curtains. A bare-chested figure in an orange-saffron dhoti and a saffron head wrap with a long trailing end stands in the centre, turning away from the camera, surrounded by a ring of people in white dhotis and white shirts with hands raised, clapping and gesturing. Several onlookers in the foreground face the group. Other white-clad devotees line the walls and stand in the room, and a portrait hangs on the wall.
