A handwritten chart on white paper is held up by hands at the top edge, its grid of blue and black ink labelled with words such as deep sleep, dream, waking, turiya and turiyatita, with cross-combinations like sw x sw and J + T. In the foreground, the dark silhouette of a seated person with curly hair faces the chart. A clear plastic water bottle with a pink cap and a white cup sit at the right. Partly visible on the left is a patterned teal and orange cloth. The setting appears to be a satsang-style talk where the chart illustrates states of consciousness.
