A photograph of a large hall where many seated devotees wear white blindfolds across their eyes. A central figure in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala walks barefoot down the glossy aisle between rows of seated participants. Colourful striped and ornamented pillars hang from a white draped ceiling, and an orange banner hangs at the top left. Devotees in white, grey and teal clothing sit cross-legged on the floor, some with raised hands. A man in a saffron robe sits in the foreground at left. A small portrait hangs on the back wall. The scene suggests a guided meditation session. The walking figure's long hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala are visible cues, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm identity.
