A large crowd of participants in plain white shirts and white blindfolds fills a high-ceilinged hall with long windows and a balcony at the top left. Many stand close together, some with name badges on lanyards, some with hands at their sides or near their faces. In the background, a framed portrait hangs on the far wall, and a few onlookers stand on the balcony. The setting appears to be a seminar or meditation programme hall.
