Photograph of a yoga session in a large tented hall with red floor and colourful striped mats laid in rows. A man in an orange-saffron robe and dhoti walks down the central aisle between mats, with long dark hair and a forehead mark; his cues are ordinary saffron monastic dress without distinctive ornaments, so identity is uncertain. Surrounding participants in black and red tops, shorts and white clothes stand with palms pressed together in anjali greeting, some barefoot. A white statue or figure and hanging red and orange decorations appear in the background. Several dozen people are visible.
