A quiet crowd meditate here? (6)
I believe the answer is:
ashram
'meditate here?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'a quiet crowd' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'sh' (both can be said to tell someone to be quiet).
'crowd' becomes 'ram' (ram can mean to crowd or press into an area).
'a'+'sh'+'ram'='ASHRAM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ashram that I've seen before include "religious community" , "Hindu retreat house" , "Place for religious retreat (in India)" , "holy man's retreat" , "Hindu hermitage" .)
