A photo from a hall with white walls, a white tent-style ceiling drape and colourful striped woven hangings. Seated women on black plastic chairs receive hands-on healing: a woman in white with a white head covering rests her hands on the head of a seated woman in a patterned cream-and-brown salwar, while a woman in a maroon top and beige trousers stands behind a woman in an orange top and white pants, her hands on the seated woman's shoulders. Several other people in white and light clothing sit and stand in the background, some wearing yellow lanyard-style cords. Folded orange cloths and bags lie on the floor near the chairs.
