Seated meditation in a large tent with patterned walls. In the foreground, a man in a light yellow-gold shawl over white clothes sits cross-legged with eyes closed, hands resting in his lap; he is a candidate for a person by appearance, but his features and the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm, so the identification is uncertain. Beside him, men in white shirts and dhotis sit in meditation on a red carpet with patterned borders, one wearing a rudraksha-style mala. Behind them, a crowd of devotees in white and colourful saris sits in rows.
