A large hall with a pale pink wall and orange hanging decorations shows a dense group of devotees seated on the floor in a yoga session. Most wear white kurta-style clothes, many with yellow or red waist cords, and they sit cross-legged on orange and pink mats. Nearly everyone has both hands raised with palms covering their eyes, a yoga-style practice of sensory withdrawal. In the foreground a bald man in white sits on an orange mat with his palms over his eyes, and a man in white with a yellow sash does the same nearby. A few blue and yellow garments appear in the crowd, and a harmonium lies on the floor at the back.
