A large crowd of students sits cross-legged on red mats in a decorated pavilion during a meditation session, most wearing white blindfolds over their eyes. Many women wear white, cream, green, orange and blue shawls or saris with name badges pinned to them. Behind them hang green and white banners with sunflower motifs, and a monk-like figure in saffron stands at the back left. Sitting upright with hands resting on their laps, they appear absorbed in a guided practice. The scene is dense with several hundred people.
