Photograph of an indoor yoga hall with a long striped runner carpet running down the centre. Two men walk toward the camera between rows of seated and standing participants: the front man wears a white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala, and the man beside him wears a saffron-orange robe and dhoti with long dark hair. Many participants in black clothing stand with palms pressed together, some bowing, and a few are shirtless. Hanging colourful lanterns with orange and blue tassels fill the ceiling, and white-draped walls frame the space.
