A seated woman in a green embroidered kurta with a red dupatta holds a small grey-white stone block up before her face and studies it closely. She wears a red bindi, drop earrings, a wristwatch and a lanyard badge. Around her, other participants in plastic chairs sit in a pale pink-curtained hall, several also holding small boxes or objects, a woman in a navy and white patterned top among them. The room is a seminar setting with a yoga session context, and the scene shows attendees handling Navagraha-related ritual items during the event.
