A photograph of a large hall where many seated participants wear white headbands blindfolding their eyes, sitting on the floor and on chairs. In the centre aisle, a long-haired person in an orange saffron robe with a red bindi walks forward holding a golden ceremonial staff or sceptre to their face. Behind them, colourful woven banners with orange fringes hang from the pale pink walls, a wall clock is visible, and scaffolding stands at the left edge. Several participants wear white clothes and red or orange beaded necklaces. The page excerpt mentions an Inner Awakening session, but the image itself shows only this activity.
