A group of women and girls sit cross-legged on woven mats in a plain room with blue-painted walls, all wearing white blindfolds over their eyes. A woman in the front centre wears a brown sari with gold floral borders and a red bindi; beside her a young girl in a yellow dress has a braided plait. Other women wear saris in red, orange, yellow, pink, purple and green, many with gold necklaces and bangles. Their hands rest in their laps as they sit in a seated healing or meditation session. Behind them are a chalkboard and a wall marked with a swastika, an om symbol and a star of David with Tamil script. Partially visible figures at the left and right edges show a man's white clothing and a child's face.
