A seated man in a white t-shirt and white trousers sits cross-legged on a red-and-white striped mat, a white cloth tied over his eyes. Behind him, in a marble hall, several other participants in white clothes and white eye-bands sit on mats, and a figure in a maroon robe sits near offerings on a low table. A person in grey to the right, seated and partly visible, is also present. The scene reads as a breathing or pranayama practice session with blindfolded participants.
