Many participants, mostly women in black tops and black leggings, sit or stand in yoga poses with arms raised overhead, some with eyes closed and faces tilted upward. One woman in the foreground with long white dreadlocks sits cross-legged with arms raised in a v shape. Some practitioners wear wrist bangles and necklaces, and a few wear orange and yellow sashes. Marigold flowers and small orange garlands lie on the mats near the front. The setting appears to be a hall with fabric hangings and an overhead rig in the background.

In the foreground, a bearded man in a black t-shirt and black trousers leans forward with one arm extended, and a man with a rudraksha mala around his neck sits on the right.
