A large seated audience fills a hall with pale pink walls and white ceiling drapes. Many attendees wear white blindfolds or head bands over their eyes, dressed in white and light shirts. Tall cylindrical banners with colourful geometric patterns, bird motifs and orange tassels hang from the ceiling. A single figure in an orange robe with long dark hair stands near the centre aisle, facing the crowd, apparently guiding the session. A blue sign on the left wall lists photography and video rules. The scene suggests an organised meditation or discourse session.
