A large hall with a green carpet and rope lines on the floor, where many people sit cross-legged in rows wearing white blindfolds across their eyes. A standing figure in an orange robe with a red-beaded mala around the neck raises both arms overhead, near a small shrine-like altar at the back. Seated participants include a woman in an orange-yellow sari with a braid and red flower, women in white saris, and a man in a dark green shirt with hands joined. Ceiling fans and decorated ceiling panels are visible. The standing figure appears to be a candidate for a person, though the appearance is uncertain from this distance.
