A large hall with many seated participants on orange floor mats and purple and blue woven rugs. Nearly every person wears a white blindfold or headband tied over the eyes and sits cross-legged with hands resting in their laps, in a meditation or inner-awakening exercise. Many wear white or pale shirts, and some wear striped, red, blue or yellow shirts. A few small booklets lie on the mats. Behind them, a stage area has a colourful painted backdrop of a deity figure, and hanging cloth panels with patterns decorate the ceiling. Red chairs line the far side.
