A photograph of a large seated audience in a tented hall at a meditation therapy convention. Many delegates sit on white plastic chairs and mats, most wearing white shirts and dhotis or trousers, with some in pastel or checked shirts and saris. Several have eyes closed in meditation and hands resting on knees or in mudra; others sit upright facing forward. A video camera on a tripod stands at the left, a stage backdrop with a painted forest scene and deity imagery is behind them, and yellow and blue patterned banners hang from the tent ceiling. Lanyard badges are visible on many attendees. A visible count of around thirty people is shown.
