Wide view of a large seated assembly under a open-sided pavilion, with a long red carpet running down the centre aisle toward a bright opening at the far end. Rows of devotees sit cross-legged on white sheets and green mats on both sides; women in saris, salwar kameez and sarees in teal, red, green and yellow, and men in white kurtas, shirts and striped pink shirts, many with eyes closed or hands folded in meditation. Bags and notebooks lie beside some participants. No clearly identifiable figure at a dais is visible, so the presence of the teacher cannot be confirmed from the image.
