A large hall with pink walls and a white fabric ceiling holds a seated meditation or yoga session. Many participants in white clothes sit cross-legged on red-and-white striped mats, most with eyes closed and hands folded, several wearing dark beaded malas. Colourful woven hangings with orange tassels hang from the ceiling. A blue sign on the wall reads Photography, Video Camera, Mobile Camera and Audio recording, with prohibition symbols. A few women in orange and red sit among the rows. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable by appearance, so the figures are described by role only.
