A large indoor hall with many seated men in white shirts and white trousers sitting cross-legged or leaning on blue floor mats during an Inner Healing session. Several wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. One man in the foreground reclines with his head resting on his hand beside a water bottle and a small booklet. A television screen on a stage at the back shows a figure, and an altar with lamps and a decorated backdrop stands on the raised platform. A banner with a bird logo hangs on the left wall. No figure at the front is clearly identifiable as a person, so no candidate is claimed.
