A photograph of a large hotel ballroom with a patterned red, blue and gold carpet and a crystal chandelier overhead. Many participants wearing white or light clothing and white blindfold-style headbands kneel and sit on the floor and on chairs, facing forward in a group exercise. A man in the right foreground wears a white top, dark trousers and a pink eye covering. Two framed banners hang on the back wall and a projection screen is mounted to the right. No specific identifiable figure in an ornate saffron presentation is clearly visible, so the a person candidate is uncertain.
