In the foreground, men in plastic chairs wear white and striped shirts, and some take notes with pens. Further back, people sit cross-legged on orange and blue striped mats. At the far right, a speaker in orange robes sits on a raised stage before a dark red curtain, near a small flower arrangement and microphone. Two blue panels display a chart titled '4 States of Consciousness' with boxes labelled Jagrat, Swapna, Sushupti and Turya, plus a second chart.
