Indoor hall with pale pink walls and arched windows, where a large seated crowd wears white blindfold-style cloths tied over their eyes. In the centre, a woman in an orange sleeveless top and orange wrap stands with her hand raised to her face, facing the seated group. Other women in white and saffron-toned saris stand nearby, and a black speaker sits on a stand at the right. A small blue banner is visible at the right edge. The scene suggests a guided exercise or program in progress rather than a formal puja. No clearly distinctive a person cues are visible on the central figure, so identity is uncertain.
