A group of devotees sits in meditation in a dim outdoor setting beneath a large spreading tree at night. Most wear white clothing, with women in white saris and cotton shawls and men in white shirts and dhotis. Several wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and green beaded malas, and some have vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads. Their eyes are closed and palms rest on their knees or laps. They sit on a long black polished stone platform in rows, with more participants seated behind on the bare ground. A cloth-draped banner hangs from a tree trunk at the upper right.
