Several participants sit in black and red chairs with both hands raised to their ears, eyes closed, as in a guided ear-pulling or relaxation exercise.

A man in a maroon shirt with an ID badge sits to the right, and a young man in a white t-shirt and checked trousers sits at the far right. Framed portraits hang on the back wall, and saffron cloths lie on a dais. No visible person is identified as a person.
