A large indoor hall with glossy white tiled floor and wall-mounted artwork frames. Dozens of people in dark clothing sit kneeling on striped mats in rows, many with arms raised and hands extended forward, appearing to lead a group meditation or movement session. Several participants wear dark polo shirts and some wear white or grey. A video camera on a tripod stands at the left edge of the frame, and a few flat cushions and bags lie near the mats. No single person is clearly identifiable as a person in this view, and no ritual deity or throne is visible.
