Photo of a yoga session in a red-draped hall with a large screen behind. A standing man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with a red tilak and white forehead marking, holds a green-handled microphone and gestures with an open hand toward seated participants. Many people sit cross-legged on striped mats in black and colourful clothes, some with long beards and head wraps. Lit oil lamps and a deity murti appear on the screen behind him. Dress cues are saffron robes and a mic headset; the speaker's identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
