Outdoor group meditation on a mat along a low whitewashed wall with red vertical stripes and potted plants behind. A dozen people sit cross-legged with eyes closed or lowered, most with hands in prayer or resting in laps. A man in an orange shirt in the centre wears a tilak and a rudraksha mala; a man in white with a red-and-white marked forehead and beaded mala sits at right beside an older man in white. Several boys in mixed casual clothes sit among the adults, and one standing youth in dark shirt walks past at the right. No ornate a person-style presentation is visible, so no candidate is identified.
