A large crowd of mostly women and some children sits seated on the floor of a hall during a healing session. Many wear white or cream saris with coloured borders, along with orange, green, pink, red and blue saris; several wear rudraksha or beaded malas around their necks. Some sit with eyes closed or hands folded in meditation. At the back, men in white and orange clothing stand near a shop-like display of books and products. Wall signage and a banner reading Life Bliss Gallery hang behind them, with a framed portrait of a woman on the banner. Visible people number well over twenty, so the crowd is counted in the larger range. No figure in the scene clearly matches the appearance cues needed for a person identification.
