A photograph of a seated group of devotees at an outdoor meditation gathering, most wearing red cloth blindfolds tied over their eyes. In the foreground a man with short dark hair and a moustache, wearing a white shirt and a wristwatch, holds his palms pressed together at chest height in anjali mudra. To his left an elderly man with a long white beard and white clothing sits blindfolded. Other participants in white and light shirts sit close together, some with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. Behind them stand metal scaffolding poles, a stack of black equipment cases, a small table with fruit on a plate and a ceiling fan. Blue-painted metal frames and a white canopy complete the setting.
