Wide photo of a large tented hall hung with colourful paper lanterns and umbrella-shaped lamps. Dozens of participants in black clothing and white dhotis lie or bend on striped rugs in yoga postures, many with heads bowed forward. A saffron-robed figure sits on a red-cushioned throne in the centre, holding a microphone, while a large screen shows a bearded person in red. Two cameramen stand at the right and a fan sits in the foreground. A candidate matching the saffron-robed figure on the throne has some cues, but appearance is uncertain, so the figure is described as a person on a throne.
