A photograph of a large indoor yoga hall during a session. A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair walks barefoot down a colourful striped rug toward the viewer, wearing an orange-saffron robe draped over his body and an orange dhoti. Audience members seated on the red stage floor and mats in black and white clothing face him, some with bare shoulders and some with hair tied back. Behind him stands a large ornate deity murti with multiple arms and a glowing teal-and-blue backdrop, flanked by golden trishula staffs along the red-draped stage.
