A large hall with a tiled floor and a tiled ceiling of thatched beams holds a group of about forty people standing on orange mats with arms raised overhead in a yoga or meditation pose. Most wear white or light clothing, with men in white dhotis and kurtas and women in white sarees, salwar kameez and pastel tops; one woman in front wears a white shawl and a bindi, and a girl at left wears an orange scarf over white. Several have beaded necklaces and name badges. Fans hang from the ceiling and white posts support the roof. No single person is identifiable as a person from appearance here.

Participants stand on colourful mats with arms raised overhead, including a bald man in a black tracksuit at left, a boy in a white top and plaid pants at centre, and a young man in a grey hoodie at right.

Most wear white kurta-style or white shirts with white trousers; a man in front left wears a white polo shirt and jeans, and one at right wears a white kurta with a grey-green checked shirt beside him. Some hold hands palm to palm overhead. Walls show framed pictures and red panels, with a wall clock and air conditioners. This looks like a yoga session; no a person is visibly present in the frame.

In the foreground a boy in a white shirt and white trousers, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a vertical tilak on his forehead, lifts his chest in a cobra-style back-bending pose, gazing upward.

Behind him, other seated participants sit on mats, one in a grey shirt and another in blue, and an orange cloth lies on the floor to the left. The setting is a plain tiled floor.
