A large hall full of seated meditators on colourful yoga mats in yellow, green, blue and grey. Most wear black t-shirts and black pants; some wear pale pink, white and grey tops, and a few men are shirtless. Many sit cross-legged with hands in mudra or palms pressed together, eyes closed. In the background an ornate golden seat and a framed painting of a deity or saint hang on the wall above a red-draped table. Lanyards with badges are visible on several participants. The setting appears to be a Nithya Yoga session during the Paramashivoham programme.
