A large indoor hall with rows of white plastic chairs filled with participants, many wearing white blindfolds or headbands across their eyes, during a meditation workshop. A woman in an orange-red sari stands on a blue carpeted aisle near the centre, facing the seated crowd with one arm raised. Several framed posters line the white walls, showing a figure in orange and red robes and a figure with a head covering. Participants wear white, pastel and orange clothing and sit quietly with hands folded. Most people are seated, and the scene appears to be a guided exercise rather than a ritual procession.
