A large indoor hall with white walls, bright ceiling lights and rows of empty white plastic chairs at the back. In the foreground, dozens of men sit cross-legged on white mats in rows, all wearing white collared shirts, grey trousers and white blindfolds tied over their eyes, with name badges clipped to their shirts. Several sit with hands resting on their knees in a meditation posture. Colourful woven banners in orange, yellow, blue and black hang from the left side and a red cloth lies on the mats. No individual can be picked out as a presenter, and no visible figure is clearly identifiable as a person.
