Several young men and boys seated cross-legged on the floor with eyes closed in meditation, many wearing saffron-orange upper garments and rudraksha malas, with white vibhuti bands across their foreheads and some with red kumkum dots. Two monks in maroon-and-gold robes sit with hands folded in the background, and a few older men in white clothing sit further back in a hall with orange and yellow decorations hanging behind. The scene suggests a seated group meditation or satsang session.
