A large indoor hall filled with hundreds of seated participants, nearly all wearing white blindfolds tied across their eyes. Most wear white, cream or pastel saris and salwar kameez, some with garlands and lanyard ID badges clipped to clothing. The hall has red curtained windows, tiled ceiling lights, wall fans and yellow pillars. A small figure in orange robes stands near the back of the hall, close to a doorway. The scene looks like a mass group exercise or meditation session held with eyes covered.
