A photograph of a group of men seated cross-legged on a green mat in a plain cream-walled hall, eyes closed in meditation or chanting. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis; several hold rudraksha or prayer beads, and a few wear orange stoles or orange-trimmed shirts. Seated higher at the back, a man with long hair in a white shirt sits in front of a wall of stacked white boxes. A red paper lantern hangs at left, a wall fan is at upper right, and glass display cabinets stand along the right side. The room is a meeting or meditation hall with a dense seated gathering of about 25 people.
