A yoga session in a hall with white draped ceilings and hanging colourful paper lanterns and tassels. A bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange draped robe with a rudraksha-style bead bracelet, stands centre-frame with one arm extended, appearing to guide the class. Around him, participants in black and grey athletic clothes bend forward or stretch on mats, including a woman with a long braid in a black top. A tripod-mounted camera and a stack of folded colourful cloths sit at the right. The orange-robed figure's appearance matches the page's description of a person, but the identification rests on the page rather than visible cues such as crown or ceremonial gold, so it is marked unsure.

A large tent hung with colourful paper streamers and lanterns hosts a yoga session. A bearded man with long hair, wearing an orange-red saffron draped robe and holding a microphone, walks along a striped rainbow mat between rows of participants. Around him, students in black clothing perform yoga postures, some bending forward, some with arms raised, others seated in meditation. A camera operator is visible at the left edge.

A standing figure in the centre has very long dreadlocked hair, wears a rust-orange robe over a rust-orange wrap, and holds a microphone while facing the crowd, apparently leading the session. Other participants wear black, grey, or light clothing. Overhead hang rows of colourful flag-like banners, and a standing fan and white tent walls are visible. A figure at the front right sits cross-legged in a black top with a white necklace, hands resting on the knees.
