A large indoor stage with a red carpeted floor and red curtains hosts a yoga session with many seated and kneeling participants in black clothing. A central figure in a long-haired appearance wears a saffron-orange top and wrap with a bare chest, standing barefoot on the red mat. Behind him stands a large deity murti of Shiva with multiple arms and a hooded cobra canopy overhead, wearing a garland and orange cloth, seated on a rocky base. Trident stands in gold flank the stage, a starry blue backdrop fills the upper background, and a cameraman operates a video camera on a tripod at right.
