A large marquee hall with white draped walls and red-and-white scalloped valances holds a seated audience of men on green mats during an Arogya Yoga meditation session. Most attendees wear white shirts and white dhotis, many with rudraksha malas around their necks, and several rows sit on red plastic chairs at the front. Ceiling fans and lights hang from the tent roof. At the far right, a large banner shows two portraits of a bearded man in white robes, and a small stage with pink decorations sits at the back. Some people stand along the aisles in white clothing. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person in this crowd shot.
