A large group of people practise yoga on coloured mats across a bright tiled hall, most in a kneeling cat-or-cobra style pose with hands planted and knees bent. Many men wear white kurta-style clothes and white dhotis, while others wear dark or checked shirts and women wear saris in purple, yellow and pink. Gold ornate decorations, red chairs and a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure appear in the background. A tall deity murti stands near the upper left wall. Exact count of visible people is well above twenty.
