A large hall with pink walls and tall windows shows a seated group of participants in white kurta and dhoti clothing, many wearing orange-red shawls and orange lanyards, all with black or white blindfolds over their eyes. They sit cross-legged on striped red and white mats and a pale mat, with small clay dishes of offerings, flowers and sweets before them. Metal stanchions separate rows, and a brown backpack sits among them. A man in white with a red shawl sits in the foreground with hands folded, and a woman in a green and gold sari sits at left. Roughly 40 seated people are visible.

In the foreground, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti sits with hands in a mudra, and a man in a blue shirt sits with eyes closed. On the left, a man wearing a white headband over his eyes raises one arm, with a wooden mala around his neck. Behind them, rows of attendees in white, blue and striped shirts sit in meditation, and red chairs are stacked along the back of the hall. No a person candidate is visibly present in the frame, so the figures are participants and attendees.
