A large tented hall filled with a crowd of many dozens of people seated cross-legged on colourful yoga mats in rows, eyes closed or gazing downward, many in black clothing. Red and maroon drapes with gold trim hang along the tent walls, with hanging lamps overhead. At the far end, a raised stage holds a golden seated figure and a large screen showing a bearded figure. Cameras on tripods film the gathering from the sides, and a man in front wears a grey t-shirt with hands in lap. Several people sit with palms pressed together in namaste. The atmosphere suggests a yoga or meditation session.
