Large outdoor meditation gathering under a white canopy with green mats on the floor. Hundreds of men sit cross-legged in white shirts and dhotis, many wearing red blindfolds tied over their eyes, some bare-chested with rudraksha malas. A few wear black t-shirts or white vests, and a man in the front center sits with a red cloth over his eyes. Orange and multicoloured decorative bunting hangs from the canopy poles and a large speaker stack stands at the left. Name badges are pinned to several shirts. The page refers to a Kalpataru meditation satsang, but the image shows only the seated crowd.
