A large white tent with red scalloped valances and hanging lights hosts an outdoor-style yoga gathering on green mats. Dozens of seated participants, mostly in white and pastel clothing, face a raised red-draped stage. Behind the stage, a large banner shows a portrait of a saffron-robed figure above Tamil lettering. A standing man in a light shirt and a cameraman with a tripod work near the front, and a person in an orange top stands at the right edge. Smaller banners and portrait posters line the side walls.
