Photo of a group meditation session in a red-walled room with a red patterned floor covering. A man seated on a white cushion at right wears orange robes, a red top, a leopard-print waist sash and a long hair bun, gesturing with one hand while speaking. Around him about a dozen participants sit cross-legged on the floor wearing orange shawls and saffron scarves, several pressing a finger to a nostril in a breathing practice. The man is shown in a teaching role; he appears to be a presenter, and no appearance-based identification is made.
