Outdoor group meditation on a rocky hillside under green trees near Tiruvannamalai. A central young man with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe and a crossbody saffron wrap, sits cross-legged with hands folded in meditation; his appearance is a probable candidate for a person by his long swept hair and saffron clothing, though the identification is uncertain. Around him thirty to forty devotees sit on stone, many in white with orange shawls, some with hands in prayer. A woman in a white sari with orange shawl sits beside him, and two men in orange robes sit lower right, one holding a small object. Many more devotees fill the background among the trees.
