Beside him an older bald man in a white shirt and dark rudraksha-style beaded mala covers one nostril with his fingers in a nadi-shodhana style pose. Behind them other participants sit in maroon-cushioned chairs and on the floor, and a person lies reclining at the right. Red-lit windows and stacked chairs fill the background. Only the foreground pair have distinctive ornament cues, and the bald man in white with a mala is not established as a person by appearance, so this is a participant context.2012-03-31A yoga session on striped mats with several participants seated and performing an eye-related practice, hands raised with fingers resting on the forehead and eye area.
