A dimly lit hall with many seated devotees, mostly women, sitting cross-legged on striped mats and facing toward the front. Many wear white or cream saris and rudraksha malas; one woman in the foreground wears a white sari with a gold border and a white shawl, another in a floral white sari, and one in a red top at left. Name badges are pinned to several clothes. Men in white stand at the back of the hall beneath fluorescent lights. The scene suggests a healers' initiation session with a meditative gathering.
