A large photograph of a meditation camp held in a open-sided hall with pillars and a row of clay pots on a high shelf at the back. Hundreds of seated devotees, mostly women in saris and salwar kameez and men in shirts, sit on folding chairs with white cloth blindfolds tied over their eyes. A woman in an orange sari sits near the centre and a woman in a teal blue sari sits in the foreground, while a man in a white dhoti and shirt sits at the right. Several people hold their hands in their laps. Some attendees wear bright saris in yellow, green, purple and orange, creating a colourful crowd against the white and grey hall.
