A dark hall viewed from its far end, with a bright doorway opening onto an outdoor green area. Inside the doorway, several people in orange and saffron clothing sit on the ground in rows, and a camera on a tripod is set up near them.

Tall vented windows light the dark walls, and a small fan stands at the right side. In the foreground, a low seat with a cushion sits on the dim floor with a white line marked across it.
