A photograph of a large seated audience in an open-air or tiered auditorium at night. Many people in white ritual clothing sit on the steps with their arms raised high, palms open, in a gesture of devotion or attentive participation. A few wear dark or orange garments. Metal railings and stairs run along the upper left, and rows of empty seats extend into the background. No individual is clearly identifiable as the speaker; no person is confidently recognisable as a person in this crowd, so the presence of a person cannot be confirmed from appearance.2010-10-07 +2 copiesOctober 07 20102010-10-07A large group of seated participants in a dimly lit hall raise both arms overhead with palms pressed together, a yoga-style practice. Most wear white or cream clothing; one woman in the foreground wears a cream sari with a brown border and bangles, and a young woman beside her wears a white kurta with gold bangles. Several participants wear name badges on lanyards. Hands are raised across the frame, and the floor is covered with patterned mats. The image shows no visible a person figure.2008-07-16A group of people seated on chairs and mats in a bright hall performs a yogic hand-raising practice, palms open and elbows lifted beside the head. In the centre a grey-haired man in a white kurta and pale yellow trousers, with a lanyard badge, sits upright with both hands raised. Others in white kurtas, a red shirt and a maroon kurta join in the same posture, some seated on red chairs. An orange cloth and a small bag rest on the floor.
