Photograph of a dense crowd of men at an indoor yoga or meditation gathering, seen from behind. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis or trousers, with a few in striped blue-and-white, green and grey shirts. Several hold their hands up, some with palms raised. Grey-haired and dark-haired heads fill the frame; no clear face of a central teacher is visible, and no one is identifiable as a specific figure. The scene is bright and crowded, with the audience facing away toward the front of the hall.
