Photograph of a large seated gathering of participants in white clothes with orange and red shawls, many with hands raised to their heads in a meditative gesture, inside a hall with pink walls and stacked chairs at right. In the foreground, a flat-screen television shows a smiling man with a vertical tilak on his forehead, wearing orange robes and a beaded mala, as a live-feed display. The screen's presentation shows a figure with a tilak and mala; cues are moderately distinctive, so the on-screen figure is tentatively labelled a person as a depiction. Around 60 seated participants are visible, including children and women in saris and salwar kameez.
