A photograph of a seated yoga session in a red-draped hall with a large audience on the floor. A central figure sits sideways on an ornate silver-and-red throne, wearing an orange-saffron cloth over the shoulders and a bare upper body, with long dark dreadlocked hair and a headset microphone. He gestures with his right hand, and a tall wooden staff rests against the throne. Seated devotees in black and white clothing, some with headscarves, sit on striped floor mats in front. Behind the stage, gold trident standards and a large deity murti are visible above the red backdrop. Audience members are visible throughout the frame. This is a person (saffron cloth, long dreadlocks, microphone, seated on a throne in a satsang setting), so a person is in_person.
