A large seated audience fills a covered hall at an Arogya Yoga event. Hundreds of people, mostly women in white, cream, yellow and blue saris and salwars, sit on red plastic chairs and on the grass floor, many with hands folded or eyes closed in meditation. Men in white shirts and dhotis sit at the back and along the upper left. Above them hang banners reading Ananda Galleria with photographs of a bearded saint in a turban and a white-bearded elder, plus a Tamil-language banner. No individual on stage or in the foreground is clearly identifiable as a person, and no speaker is visible in this view.
