Photograph of a large indoor yoga session in a bright hall with white draped walls. A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with long dark swept-back hair and a beard sits on an ornate white-and-red throne with a red cushion, holding a wooden staff upright. He appears to be the a person, given his long swept hair, saffron robe and throne, and presides over the session. Around him dozens of participants in dark clothing and some in orange sit on colourful striped mats or stretch with raised arms, several with hair in buns or braids. A camera on a tripod and a cameraman appear in the background, and a white fan stands at right.
