A central figure in an orange-saffron robe and orange turban stands with arms raised, and several people in white hold thin sticks or wands. Other participants in white kurtas and saris stand around the room, with a few seated in white chairs at the back. The scene resembles a group practice or ritual exercise in an indoor venue.
