A photograph of a large seated group of about 60 people gathered in a carpeted hall for a Dhyana Spurana program. Many participants sit cross-legged on a black mat in front of rows of chairs and a white-draped table with flowers and offerings. A foreground figure wears a saffron-orange garment and sits on white cloth with scattered flower petals, facing the group; the figure has long dark hair and bare shoulders, and a white cloth covers the foreground. Participants wear white, yellow, green, pink and blue clothing, and some wear white and red beaded necklaces. A banner on the right reads Dhyana Spurana Program beside a portrait of an elderly figure, and a banner on the back wall shows photographs. Ceiling spotlights and wall sconces light the room.
