A photograph of a seated group of devotees meditating outdoors on woven mats in a garden, with red-and-white striped walls and flowering plants behind them. Most wear white kurta-style clothes and rudraksha malas. In the foreground a bald man in a light blue polo shirt and white dhoti sits with eyes lowered and hands resting on his knees, and beside him a young boy in white with a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged with hands folded. Other men with tilak markings sit behind them. No candidate for the named teacher is clearly visible, so no identification is made.
