A photograph of a large indoor hall with red curtains and pale walls where many people sit cross-legged on mats and floor cushions, most with eyes closed. Many wear white or pale clothes, while others wear saffron, yellow, pink and green saris and salwar kameez; several have headphones on. In the foreground, a young woman in a red-and-gold top with a long braid and a girl in a pink dress press a hand to one nostril, performing nostril breathing practice, and a girl in a yellow kurta sits in front of a brass lamp and water bottle. Small brass lamps and plastic containers sit on the mats. No speaker is visible, and the scene reads as a yoga or meditation session rather than a deity ritual.
