Outdoor beach yoga session by the sea under a pale blue sky with scattered clouds. Dozens of men sit in rows on mats with bare upper bodies and white dhotis, arms raised overhead in a salutation pose, many wearing sacred threads. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits on a red-cushioned throne-like seat at the centre rear, while an attendant in white holds an orange umbrella above him. A woman in red standing on a raised platform at right also raises her arms, and a video camera on a tripod records the scene. Calm water and a distant shoreline fill the background.
