A group of devotees sits on a red-tiled veranda in an outdoor garden setting, listening to a teacher seated on a carved wooden swing at the right edge of the frame. The teacher wears orange ochre robes and has long dark hair, shown from behind. Around them, men and women in white dhotis and kurtas, some with orange shawls, sit cross-legged or kneel in rows while others look on. A tripod-mounted camera stands among them, and green shrubs, trees and a white pillar frame the scene. The visible people number roughly two dozen.
