A yoga hall with a polished floor and white draped ceiling decorated with hanging colourful woven tassels in red, blue, yellow and green. A man in saffron-orange robes stands centrally holding a microphone, speaking to a seated group. Participants sit on striped mats wearing white headbands over their eyes, some in white clothing and others in dark or pink garments. A large backdrop behind shows a portrait of a smiling figure in orange with a turban; the portrait is a printed image, not a person. The scene appears to be a meditation or pranayama session with a teacher leading the class. Several chairs and a wooden cabinet line the room.
