A barefoot person in a flowing orange-red cloth wrap walks down a green carpeted hall in front of a seated audience of several hundred people. Many attendees sit cross-legged in white and light-blue shirts and white dhotis, with white cloth blindfolds tied over their eyes. Some wear red kurtas and rudraksha-style necklaces. Behind them, a balcony lined with more seated people, white walls, arched window openings, wall fans and a black speaker complete the setting. The walking figure has long dark hair pulled back and appears to be leading the session.
