A large hall with pink walls and tall windows holds a seated audience of women and girls on striped mats and blue mats. Most sit cross-legged with hands raised near their faces, some pressing a cupped hand or tissue to the nose, as in a breathing practice. Many wear white saris and salwar kameez in green, red, orange and yellow, and some wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. Name badges hang from some clothing. Red chairs are stacked at the back, a red-covered table holds a small arrangement, and colourful woven tassel hangings hang from the ceiling. Several figures sit further back near a golden-framed display.
