A large tent-hall yoga session with a red floor covered in striped and patterned mats. Many students in black athletic clothes perform inverted and bending asanas, some in headstands and forward bends. In the right foreground a tall man with long dark hair and a beard stands in a rust-orange wrap and dhoti, hands at his sides, apparently instructing the class; he shows swept-back long hair and orange clothing, so he is a probable Swamiji, a teacher overseeing the practice. A videographer in white dhoti holds a camera on the left. Strings of colourful paper lanterns and oil lamps hang from the ceiling, with screens behind the crowd.
