A photograph of a large hall with a striped multicoloured mat runner down the middle and colourful paper lanterns and banners hanging from the ceiling. A central man with long dark hair and a beard walks barefoot in a rust-orange robe with a gold-edged cloth wrap and carries a walking staff; the page indicates he is a person, though his appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm it. Around him, participants in black athletic clothes stand with palms pressed together in namaste, a woman in an orange sari and others in casual clothes stand or sit, and one person bows low, touching their forehead to the mat.
