A large group of men sits cross-legged on an orange mat and a blue-patterned mat in a bright hall, all wearing white blindfolds over their eyes. Most wear collared shirts in cream, white, striped, pink, lime green and red, and dark trousers; a few have bare feet. Several have lanyard-style ID badges. Some hands rest on knees in meditation posture. Plastic bags and a folded orange cloth lie on the floor in front. Chairs are stacked against the wall behind, and a small purple logo appears at upper left. Some men stand at the back. No deity or ritual object is visible, and the scene appears to be a blindfolded meditation or sensory exercise.
