A photograph of a large group of participants seated on striped mats in a bright hall, practising a guided meditation with hands raised to their ears and heads. Many wear white clothing, and several wear rudraksha malas. A man in the foreground wears a grey striped shirt and sits cross-legged, another in a grey shirt and blue trousers sits beside him, and a bald man in a white shirt is at the front with both hands at his head. A woman in a khaki outfit and a mala sits at the right. In the background a few people wear yellow and orange shawls. No candidate appears to be a clearly identifiable a person by visible cues, so no appearance-based label is assigned.
