An open-air yoga session held under a large patterned tarpaulin in a dusty courtyard. Two figures sit at the front on a raised platform: one in white clothing and one in an orange-red top, both seated cross-legged. Rows of seated participants on blue tarps and white sheets face them, including women in orange and red saris and people in white and yellow clothes. Plastic chairs, speakers on tripods, water bottles and a pile of rubble are visible. Behind the stage hang painted banners with colourful imagery, and a black board carries printed Tamil text. The scene suggests relief-camp activity.
