Large indoor hall with a white tent-like ceiling hung with colourful painted cloth banners and tassels. Hundreds of seated participants wear white head blindfolds; many are in white kurtas and dhotis, others in orange, yellow and patterned saris or salwar. Several raise their arms overhead. At the front, a woman in an orange sari stands with arms raised beside a low stage with a wall clock and a dark board. The scene resembles a guided group meditation or activity session.
