A wide photograph of a large hall filled with people doing standing yoga stretches on mats laid across the floor. Many participants wear white or light clothing, some in colourful saris and kurtas, and several stand with arms raised or bent sideways. Two video cameras on tripods stand in the foreground, and a large ornate red and gold throne sits at the far end beneath framed portraits along the walls. Large black screens hang from the ceiling and red drapes frame the wall images.

Several dozen participants stand with palms pressed together in anjali on red-and-white striped mats, many in white or cream clothing, with others in brown, pink and yellow kurtas and salwar. Bags and water bottles sit at the edges. At the far right, a man in an orange robe with a shaved head stands with hands folded near a microphone stand, facing the room. Some people are partly visible at the far left and back.

Several video cameras on tripods stand in the foreground near the front row, and an instructor in a blue top and olive trousers stands barefoot at the centre. Ceiling lights and round recessed fixtures illuminate the room.
