Seated devotees in orange and saffron robes and orange head wraps line both sides, some in white, many with hands in anjali. A hall monitor in white sari stands at right beside a video camera on a tripod, and framed photographs hang on the walls. Auditorium chairs and a food counter are visible at left.

A bearded man in a saffron-orange robe and dhoti stands barefoot at the centre, with long swept-back hair and a tilak on his forehead; the page flags him as Swamiji, and his long hair, saffron robe and ornate appearance are compatible cues, so he is described as Swamiji (probable) in the centre of the room, watching participants. Around him, dozens of people in black and white athletic clothes practise asanas on blue and striped mats: some lie supine, some bend forward, others stretch with arms raised. A shirtless man in red dhoti stands at right, and a man in a black shirt at left looks down.2016-12-14A central figure in an orange-red robe with gold-edged border and a gold-trimmed sash walks barefoot across a striped multicoloured mat, holding a tall wooden staff. He has long dark hair, a bindi-style mark on his forehead and a bearded face. Around him, a large group of participants in black, grey and white clothes stand with palms pressed together or kneel and bow on the mats, some prostrating. A man in a dark t-shirt kneels in the foreground, a woman in black stands at left with hands in anjali mudra, and small cups and a metal bottle sit on the mats. Orange and multicoloured bunting hangs at the top of a large white-walled hall, with cameras and a stage backdrop visible in the distance. Setting resembles a yoga or satsang session with participants in devotional posture.2016-12-17April 02 20182018-04-02February 13 20212021-02-13A large hall during a yoga session with many participants on mats and blankets, most in asana poses such as inverted and forward-bend postures. Centre, a man with long dreadlocks, a beard and an orange-red shawl over an orange-red garment stands on a red carpet beside an ornate silver-and-red throne. A man in white with a camera around his neck and a woman in patterned trousers stand at right, and a large projection screen at top right shows figures. Red and gold hanging decorations and colourful bunting decorate the walls, and a small wooden sign reads Dhyanalinga-style room label. A man in white shirt performs a shoulder stand near the bottom right.2016-12-14A large yoga session in a red-draped hall with red carpet and striped mats. A bearded man with long hair, wearing an orange shawl over a rust-orange dhoti and a headset microphone, stands centrally and speaks to the room. Around him many people lie on mats, sit, or hold bent-back poses; a barefoot person on the right has legs raised vertically. Behind him stands an ornate golden deity murti in a lit alcove with a purple backdrop, and an empty red-cushioned throne-like chair sits on the right. A screen on the upper left shows a large projected image. Overlay text marks the photo copyright and source.2016-12-14
