A photograph of a hall with white walls and yellow-and-blue patterned hangings from the ceiling. A standing woman in a long orange robe with dark loose hair faces the room. Around her, about a dozen seated and bent-over participants in white clothes and white shawls sit on blue, green and red mats, their heads lowered toward steel plates and bowls on the floor. A table at the right holds stacked books and a laptop, and a folded striped cloth lies nearby. Some participants wear beaded necklaces. The scene resembles a group ritual session with small plates in front of the participants.
