A photograph of a seated group of women on a red mat in a large hall, many in white tops and white trousers with red-orange scarves printed with dark script draped over their shoulders. Several women have palms pressed together in namaste or hands raised in a greeting gesture, and some have closed eyes. Lanyards with orange cords and badges hang at their necks. A woman in the foreground with short hair and a red bindi raises one hand, and a woman beside her presses her palms together. Bags and water bottles rest at the edge of the frame.

Behind them, more seated participants in white and red-orange, a man in a white shirt with his hands in a mudra-like posture, and a bald man in white.
