Large indoor yoga session in a decorated hall with hanging colourful pennant lanterns and white overhead lights. A bearded man in orange robes sits on an ornate white and red throne at centre, pointing one arm outward while a crowd of participants in black activewear performs yoga postures on striped mats around him. Several people in orange and saffron outfits are among the crowd, and a projection screen behind the throne shows a bearded figure in red. A fan, a camera on a tripod and a red curtain are visible at the edges, with a sign reading Dhyanapeetha on the right wall. The bearded robed figure is an appearance-based candidate for a person, but his features and cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.
