A photograph of a yoga session in a hall. A man with long dark hair, a full beard and an orange sleeveless robe sits on an ornate silver throne with red cushions, smiling with his hands resting on his knees. Seated around and in front of him on mats, a large audience sits in meditative poses; many wear black, grey or pink clothing, and several have long braided or dreadlocked hair. A large screen at upper left shows a close-up face. On the right, stacked chairs and white and red cloth-covered items are visible. Judging by the throne, orange robe and long hair, the seated man is a probable Swamiji depiction-in-person candidate, presented as the teacher in the scene.
