A yoga session in a large hall with red mats and a silver throne at left. A tall man with long dark hair and a beard, wearing an orange shawl over orange-brown robes and bare feet, stands with hands on hips, probable Swamiji by his long swept hair and saffron robes, seemingly teaching the class. Around him many participants lie on mats in asanas, some with legs raised, dressed in black, white and coloured clothing. A large screen behind shows a crowd on steps. Hanging orange and white lanterns decorate the ceiling.
