A large group of devotees sits cross-legged on the floor of a bright hall, many wearing white clothes and white cloth blindfolds tied around their heads. Most people face a raised dais at the far end where a figure in orange-red robes sits, with a second person in white nearby. Gold deity statues and framed pictures line the walls, and a bookshelf stands to one side. Some children in green and yellow sit among the adults. The scene suggests a guided yoga or meditation session.
