A large hall with a multicolored striped wall of red, yellow, green, blue and purple panels hosts a seated gathering of attendees dressed largely in white, sitting on white mats and cushions facing a raised stage. On the stage, a figure in a white robe sits on a white-draped seat flanked by flower arrangements and vases. Behind them hangs a banner reading Dhyana Spurana Program with a portrait of an older woman with short white hair. Lights on stands, a camera on a tripod, a projection screen on the left and a potted plant on the right complete the scene. Many attendees have their backs to the camera, some with white hair or head coverings. Water bottles sit on the floor in front.
