A large hall filled with many people lying flat on their backs in rows on striped woven mats in red, green, blue and orange. Most wear white dhoti and kurta-style clothes, some with gold-bordered shawls, and several have eye covers or cloths over their eyes. Water bottles sit beside a few mats. Behind them, a raised stage holds ornate golden thrones and a shrine with deity murti, and robed figures in saffron and white stand and sit at the back under a corrugated metal roof. The scene suggests a group meditation or relaxation practice with participants reclining in unison.
