A photograph inside a covered open hall with a corrugated metal roof and ceiling fans. Dozens of devotees sit on the concrete floor and mats in white and yellow clothing, many wearing yellow sashes and rudraksha malas. A standing man in white with a yellow shawl and a standing man at left in white with an orange scarf face the seated group. Near the centre a blue, red and turquoise cylindrical peetha stands beside an orange draped canopy. Behind them a framed deity murti of Durga-like goddess with multiple arms, flanked by smaller figures, is set on a white decorated backdrop with hanging colourful banners. A sign on the wall reads Getting Conscious, with framed photographs above. Around 30 physical people are visible in the scene.
