Indoor meditation hall with peach walls, arched windows and a red and orange patterned hanging on the back wall. Thirty or more participants in white and pastel saris and kurtas, many with white blindfolds or head bands, stand and move across red and patterned mats. A woman in a bright lime-green sari stands centre-front. At the right edge, a man with long hair wears an orange-saffron turban and saffron shawl, seated beside a microphone stand; his face is only partly visible, so identity is uncertain.
