A dimly lit hall shows a seated group of devotees in meditation, most wearing white cloth blindfolds tied over their eyes. Women in saris of pink, orange, red, blue and green sit cross-legged on a white mat, with hands resting open on their laps. A small boy in a pink checked shirt sits in the front left, and a grey-haired woman in an orange sari sits in the foreground. Rows of participants fill the room, with a blue-painted wall and a dark board behind them. The partially visible bald head at the lower left edge appears to belong to another seated participant.
