A photograph of a meditation convention in a plain whitewashed hall with a red and grey striped floor mat. A seated teacher in white clothing with a saffron-coloured shawl sits at a microphone stand in front of a large portrait. The portrait shows a white-haired figure, and a wrapped cloth hangs above it. A blue banner reads Ananda Spurana and a chart shows the Shakti chakras as a blue meditating figure. Around the room, participants sit on the mat in white clothes, one in orange, one in a pink checked shirt, and some on blue plastic chairs. A fan and an air cooler stand nearby. Some banners show framed photographs, and the scene looks like a 2-day convention session.
