A night-time group meditation on red-tiered steps under a dark sky. A man in a blue kurta sits cross-legged at centre with both arms raised overhead and palms open. Around him, dozens of devotees in white and grey clothing sit on the tiers with arms raised, eyes closed, in a shared open-arm practice. Many are bald or shaved-headed. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly visible, so the figures are described only by role and clothing.
