A large crowd of participants practices standing yoga on colourful striped mats in a red-draped hall. Most wear black, with some in white, yellow, red and purple; several have long necklaces and beaded jewellery. Many have eyes closed or mouths open, mid-chant or breath. At the front, a large deity murti with multiple arms sits on a raised peetha, flanked by tall kalasha-style gold stands, and an enlarged projected image of the same deity fills the screen behind. A figure in orange robes stands near the dais with a red-cushioned chair beside him; he is not clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so no identity is asserted.
