A photograph of a large crowd of devotees seated in rows, most wearing white blindfold-style cloths over their eyes. In the centre, a standing figure in an orange-saffron robe and a long gold-beaded necklace holds a microphone, with long dark hair, apparently addressing the gathering. Behind the crowd are a striped rainbow-coloured banner and tall pale carved pillars under a dark tent canopy. Some seated people near the back wear white and pink clothes. The scene looks like a guided meditation or darshan session.
