A large tented hall with white and green sunflower-patterned banners along the back wall. Many seated participants wear white cloth blindfolds tied across their eyes; several have hands raised or pressed to their faces, mouths open as if calling out. Most wear light shirts and trousers or dhotis, and some have ID badges clipped to their shirts. Green carpet covers the floor with red mats beneath the seated group, and a brass oil lamp stand is visible at the right edge. White poles and hanging lights support the tent canopy overhead.
