A large seated audience fills a bright hall with pink walls and red curtains, attending a programme in a meditative posture on red-striped mats. Many men wear white kurtas and dhotis, some with rudraksha malas and lanyards; a few wear blue or striped shirts. In the foreground, several boys sit cross-legged, and one front-row man in a white shirt and mala presses his palms together in namaste. Standing figures line the back wall. No one in the frame is clearly identifiable as a person, and no one is sitting on a throne or raised seat.
