Rows of seated devotees fill the floor on colourful striped mats and orange, yellow and blue cushions, most dressed in white with orange or saffron shawls and sashes. Many women sit in front, some with bags and water bottles nearby. Rows of white chairs stand at the back, and a camera on a tripod is visible at the right. No clearly identifiable a person figure is seen in this frame, and no one stands out as a presiding teacher.
