A photograph of a large hall where many seated participants sit on striped mats with white cloth blindfolds tied over their eyes, a meditation or sensory-awareness practice. Front-row women wear white saris with gold borders, a green sari, a red-and-white checked salwar and a pink sari; many also wear name badges and rudraksha or bead necklaces. Behind them men in white shirts and dark trousers sit in rows on the floor, and a few people stand near red curtains at the left. Books, water bottles and bags lie on the mats. White pillars and a red-and-white wall frame the room, and no a person figure is visible.
