Photograph of a large crowd of devotees seated on the open upper deck of a cruise ship, many on folding deck lounge chairs. Most wear white clothing with orange-red shawls draped over their shoulders, and many sit with heads bowed in meditation. Light blue deck flooring, white curved railings and metal supports frame the scene, with a small ornate umbrella-like canopy visible at the right edge against an overcast sky.
