A large indoor meditation hall with rows of seated participants on orange and blue mats, most wearing white clothes and white blindfolds over their eyes. Down the centre aisle walks a standing figure in a saffron-orange robe with a shaved head and bare feet, appearing to lead the session. Colourful striped hanging banners with orange tassels decorate the ceiling, and red chairs line the side walls. A television screen on the back wall shows a small image, and a wooden stage with a plant and flower arrangements sits behind. Some attendees wear green and yellow outfits, and staff in white stand near the front. The scene resembles a guided blindfolded meditation session.
