A group yoga session in a white-tiled hall where many participants in white kurtas and dhotis raise their arms overhead with palms together, standing on colourful yoga mats in green, orange, pink and blue. Several men wear white name badges on their chests. In the background a golden horse statue and gilded deity murti and ornate decorations are visible, with more people in the room. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so no candidate is marked.

A large group of people in white clothing stands on coloured yoga mats in a bright hall, arms raised overhead in a stretching posture. In the foreground, a bald man in a white shirt with an ID badge and a white dhoti with a maroon border raises both arms, while a man in a white kurta with a lanyard badge and glasses stretches upward beside him. Pink, green, blue and orange mats fill the floor, and framed red-toned pictures and a golden decorative figure appear on the walls behind. Many more participants in white, grey and dark clothes continue the stretch in the background.

A indoor group yoga or exercise session in a hall with white walls, ceiling fans and a wall clock. Many people stand with arms raised overhead or stretched out to the sides, most in white shirts and trousers. In the foreground, a man in a white polo shirt and glasses stands with arms outstretched; to the right, an older man in a saffron-yellow kurta holds one arm raised and wears a red and white beaded mala. Pink and purple yoga mats cover the floor.

A group of men and women in a bright indoor hall perform a standing side-bend yoga stretch on blue, pink and purple mats, arms raised overhead. Most wear white or light shirts and trousers; one man in the foreground wears a white t-shirt and maroon trousers, another wears a grey t-shirt and black trousers. Metal stanchions and chains separate the mat rows, and a wall clock and white walls frame the room. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance, so this is a group yoga session with participants in casual and white clothing.
