A photograph of a hall during a seated group programme. In the centre a standing figure wears an orange-saffron robe and a rudraksha mala, with one arm raised in a gesture. Around and in front of this figure sit many participants in white and light clothing, many wearing white headbands or blindfold-style white cloths over their eyes, and some in yellow or striped shirts. Behind them hang orange and multicoloured woven shawls and an ornate golden curved stand with coloured tassels. Framed artwork is on the back wall. The standing figure's face and features are not clearly visible enough to confirm identity, so the appearance cue is only a saffron robe and rudraksha mala with the page noting a person's presence.
