A photograph of a large group of seated devotees in white shirts and grey trousers, their heads wrapped with white cloth bands across the eyes, sitting cross-legged on white floor mats in a hall. Several rows of backs are visible in the foreground; a white-robed figure sits at the far right near a red curtain and a fan, and hanging yellow and orange decorative lanterns hang from the ceiling. The setting suggests a meditation or ritual session, with no visible deity murti or ceremonial fire.
