Outdoor photo of a rehearsal-like yoga event on a sandy ground. Two large gilded ceremonial structures stand in the background: a domed golden canopy and a tiered golden tower on wheeled wooden bases, with a red-and-blue draped platform in front. Several people in orange and yellow clothing stand on blue mats near tall wooden poles, with one figure in yellow at centre-right and another in orange at left. A man in a white shirt and light trousers stands in the foreground, and a figure in a white kurta and yellow turban stands near the left edge. A scaffold with speakers stands at left among green trees and palms. A seated figure on the platform wears light clothing, but the person is too small to judge clearly.
