A large indoor hall of seated practitioners in a meditation or yoga session, most sitting cross-legged on blue, yellow and grey mats with hands folded in their laps. Many participants are bare-chested and wear dark trousers. Brass or gold lamp stands with hanging lamps are visible along the left side, and paper lanterns hang from the ceiling. Several people in the front rows have shaved heads, and some have tattoos on their arms and chest. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so no candidate is marked.
