A large seated congregation fills a bright hall with white walls and red pillars, many participants wearing white or cream clothing and rudraksha-style red beaded malas, several also wearing orange-tinted eyewear. Some hold small brass or silver ritual items and bells. A raised platform in the back holds camera equipment and a monitor, and a figure in white sits on a white seat above the crowd. Orange and red paper lanterns hang from the ceiling. The scene resembles a group yoga or meditation session with ritual objects in hand.
