A large hall during a yoga session with many participants seated and standing on red and multicoloured mats. A man with long dark hair, a beard and an orange saffron wrap stands centre-stage holding a handheld microphone and gesturing with one arm, beside an ornate silver-and-red throne chair.

Participants in black and white clothes raise their arms in asanas, and a camera crane stands at the right edge.
