A large hall with rows of seated participants on orange and patterned mats, most wearing white clothes and white blindfolds over their eyes. A standing figure in a long orange-saffron robe walks down the central aisle between the rows; the figure's hair is short and the face is not clearly visible, so the appearance is uncertain. Tall cylindrical hangings in bright multicoloured patterns with orange tassels hang from the ceiling. Red chairs line the side walls, and a screen, plants and a framed portrait are visible at the back. Blue and white signs with text are mounted on the walls.
