A photograph of a man in saffron-orange robes with a yellow border sitting on a raised stage, his hands raised to his face in a seated yoga or breathing posture. He wears a rudraksha mala necklace, a bracelet and a wristwatch. Behind him, a large gilded throne with an ornate golden arch and cushions in red velvet is set against deep red drapery. On the throne's right side, a figure in an orange turban, orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits with hands resting on the armrest; this figure appears to be a statue or a depiction rather than a clearly identifiable living person, and the scene suggests a yoga teaching event.
