A photograph of a large yoga session with many participants raising their hands palms-forward. In the centre, a figure seen from behind wears a rust-red turban and a rust-red sleeveless top, with long dark braided hair falling down the back. Around them, people in mostly dark and white clothing lift their arms, and a person in orange robes stands at the right edge. Pink and yellow drapes and banners form the backdrop of the hall. The figure's identity is not established by appearance cues, so the subject is described by role only as a participant leading or standing among the group.
