Three people sit cross-legged on a glossy white tiled floor inside a hall, with a red circle and yellow lines marking the floor geometry. At the centre, a young sadhaka in an orange saffron robe with a rudraksha mala and white tilak on the forehead gestures toward the forearm of a man on the right, who wears a maroon kurta with embroidery and striped dhoti-style lower wear with long dreadlocks. A small blue-white device rests on his arm. On the left, a woman in a white and gold embroidered top, green patterned trousers and a bindi sits watching, with a beaded necklace. A mat and bag lie at the lower left. Fluorescent ceiling lights reflect on the floor.
