In the foreground, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and a name badge sits with hands folded, next to a grey-haired man in a white shirt and white dhoti and a man in a striped brown shirt. Behind them rows of participants in white and pastel shirts wear identification lanyards. Two large banners on the back wall show a portrait of a bearded, long-haired man in saffron-toned robes, labelled with printed text, though the portrait is printed and not a physical person. The scene is a yoga and meditation programme in an indoor venue.
