A large seated audience fills a hall with a red carpet, many people wearing orange-red blindfold-style eye coverings during a Third Eye Awakening session. In the foreground a bare-chested man in a yellow dhoti with rudraksha malas and a bun sits cross-legged on a striped mat, hands resting on his knees, with a bracelet on each wrist. Behind him, rows of people in white kurtas and red or maroon clothing sit with eyes covered, some holding books. Large screens at the top show a stage, and a water cooler stands at the right edge.
