A large hall with a gold swirl-patterned carpet holds a seated group of participants in black clothing meditating on grey and beige mats with hands pressed in anjali mudra. Many have eyes closed, and water bottles sit beside the mats. A woman in the front centre wears a black top and green patterned trousers with a rudraksha-style bead on her mat. No a person candidate is clearly visible among the seated participants, and the visible people are attendees in meditation. Chairs with red cloths line the left side, and a wall-mounted banner appears at the top of the room.
