A photograph of a large group of women seated on striped red mats in a hall during a meditation session, most wearing white salwar kameez and white tops with lanyards. Their hands are raised to their faces in nasal breathing practice (nadi shodhana style). In the foreground a woman with dark hair, a red bindi, and closed eyes is focused in the posture. Several seated participants in the background are blurred. Books sit on the mat at lower right. No clearly visible a person figure is present in this frame, so the a person field is none.
