A large red-carpeted tent hall full of people in a group yoga session. Thick rows of participants in black and grey clothing sit, kneel and bend on coloured yoga mats, many with arms raised or bodies folded forward. At the centre front, a golden deity murti sits on a raised red stage flanked by ceremonial standing lamps and kalasha-like items, with a large starry projection screen behind. A tall standing figure in long flowing orange robes with long dark hair stands at the right edge facing the room, and a projection screen on the right shows a crowd. Hanging tassels, strings of red and gold lanterns and white spotlights decorate the ceiling.
