Large seated gathering of hundreds of participants on green mats in a hall, most wearing white blindfolds or headbands tied over their eyes. Many women wear white, saffron, yellow, pink and blue saris, and men wear white shirts and dhotis; some wear beaded necklaces and name badges. A camera on a tripod stands at left among the crowd. Plastic red chairs line the rear, and a few figures sit near the back, one in an orange shawl. The arrangement suggests a guided meditation session during an Arogya Yoga programme.
