A large indoor tent-hall photograph of a dense seated assembly of hundreds of devotees in white dhotis and white shirts, many wearing orange or saffron shawls and rudraksha malas. Many sit cross-legged on the floor with both hands pressed over their ears and eyes closed in a meditative posture. Hanging cylindrical banners with tasselled fringes in red, yellow and patterned fabric decorate the ceiling. Stage lights and a camera on a tripod are visible at the left edge, and a few people sit in plastic chairs at the far right. The image suggests a meditation session in a large pandal, with no legible central figure identified.
