Photograph of a seated group session in a large hall with pink walls, wall-mounted air conditioners, and framed photo posters behind. A man with long dark hair and a beard walks barefoot across a pink mat in the centre, wearing a rust-red saffron-toned dhoti and a matching shawl draped over one shoulder. Around him, dozens of participants sit on mats and chairs, mostly in white garments with orange-red shawls; some women wear yellow and green saris. A bald man in white sits at lower left, a standing speaker sits at right, and yellow stanchions line the walkway. A man with a sign-like cloth sits in the lower foreground, and a few mats hold folded cloths. The setting resembles a seminar-style meditation hall.
