A large indoor hall with a white ceiling canopy and tall colourful striped banners hanging from above. Many people in white clothing sit cross-legged on mats, most with one hand raised, as if answering or responding during a session. Several men wear white kurtas and mala beads, and some wear yellow or orange sashes. Orange and blue striped mats line the floor, and a small altar with flowers stands at the right edge. No single figure is clearly identifiable as the a person from appearance, so no a person candidate is marked.
