A photograph of a row of young men seated side by side in a hall, chanting with eyes closed. They are shaved-headed with white vertical tilak marks on their foreheads, wearing maroon and saffron-orange cloths over their shoulders with gold borders. The foreground figure on the right wears orange and maroon. Behind them stand a red curtain and a pale wall, with a blurred figure in orange at the far left edge. No a person candidate is clearly visible; the page refers to a 2013 Inner Awakening Convention day but the image shows only disciples chanting.
