A large, bright indoor hall with cream walls, red curtains and a tiled floor shows a yoga or stretching session. Participants sit on coloured exercise mats, blue, pink, purple and green, stretching forward with legs extended, while small chrome dumbbells sit on the floor between them. Most are dressed in white; one man in an orange shirt and another in a checked shirt are visible. On the left, a golden canopy shrine holds a deity murti beside draped red and yellow fabrics. A framed portrait hangs on the far wall, and a standing staff member in a maroon shirt watches from the right. Stacked folded mats are against the right wall.
