Water bottles and bags sit on the floor, and the polished floor reflects the seated rows. Wall banners and ceiling lights are visible behind them.

A large group of young women and girls sits cross-legged on dark red mats across a tiled hall, many with red cloth blindfolds over their eyes, in a meditative posture.

Some hold small yellow bags and notebooks on the floor, and a few hands rest in mudra-like positions on their knees.
