A wide hall with white ceiling fans and recessed lights shows seated devotees in white and pastel clothing, many wearing white blindfolds, in rows of plastic chairs on green carpet. A yellow carpet with red-and-orange floral motifs runs down the centre aisle toward a stage. Two figures in saffron/orange robes walk up the aisle; the foremost wears a long saffron garment with bare feet and long dark hair. Behind the stage, a row of people in white stands along a railing, and a blue-and-white drape decorates the platform. Blindfolded participants fill the foreground, one man in a white shirt with a gold bangle and an ID badge seated closest to the camera.
