A large seated audience fills a tented hall with draped silver-grey fabric and a red-and-gold patterned border at the top. Rows of men and women sit on the green mat floor, many in white shirts and white dhotis, and several women in cream, yellow and orange saris. A man in the front left wears a white shirt and a long rudraksha mala. Some attendees have their hands pressed together in namaste or rest them on their knees. Behind them hang a framed portrait of a turbaned man labelled with a printed name, and a blue banner. A bag printed Maharaja sits on the mat in front. The gathering appears to be a yoga or meditation session, with no clearly visible leader on stage.
