Wide view of a large hall during a Yoga Sutras evening session, with a seated audience of many people on red, white and blue striped mats. Most attendees wear white clothes; one man in the front middle wears orange and another in blue sits at right. A stage at the far end shows a banner reading Yoga Sutras and a small figure seated on a throne-like seat, too distant to confirm identity. Colourful tassel hangings decorate the ceiling and a projection screen hangs above the stage. Bags and water bottles lie on the floor among the mats.
