A large hall with pink-washed walls and a wall clock at upper left. A man in a flowing orange-saffron robe with long dark swept-back hair walks barefoot through the centre of the room, with a shawl draped over one shoulder. Around him, many seated participants in white clothing wear white blindfolds over their eyes and rudraksha malas; they sit on red-and-white striped mats and green mats, and some sit on the floor in meditation postures. A woman at left wears a patterned shawl and gold-coloured mala. Red chairs line the walls. The scene suggests a guided blindfolded meditation session. Swamiji (probable) is the central orange-robed figure, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha-style adornment, walking among the meditators.
