A large outdoor meditation class under a white tent canopy. Hundreds of people, mostly in white clothing and wearing red headbands, sit in rows on a green-covered stage area facing a raised dais. A large screen shows a close-up of the seated crowd, and a camera on a boom arm films the event. On the right, a seated figure in a red cloth sits on a red-draped throne beside a golden lion-shaped ornament, with a laptop and monitor in front. Blue and yellow draped banners and speakers frame the stage, and a digital counter reads a number in red on the screen frame.
