A large seated group of devotees in a meditation hall, most wearing white or pale clothing with rudraksha malas and white blindfolds tied over their eyes. Women in saris of cream, yellow-green, blue, pink and red sit cross-legged on green mats, hands resting in their laps. Behind them, a tripod-mounted camera stands among red chairs and draped fabric. No speaker or teacher is clearly visible in the frame, so no a person candidate is present. The setting suggests an arogya yoga or blindfolded meditation session, though the blindfolds and seated posture are the main visible evidence.
