A large seated gathering of devotees in white clothes fills a hall, most with white cloth blindfolds tied over their eyes, many wearing red-and-brown rudraksha-style malas. In the foreground a man in a white shirt and tan trousers sits cross-legged on a red mat, hands folded, while others sit on mats and chairs. Chandeliers and wooden carved panels line the walls, and a figure in orange robes sits at the far back near the stage area. The scene suggests a meditation or guided session, with the crowd numbering in the hundreds.
