A large hall during a yoga session, with dozens of participants in white clothing bent forward in a prostrate or child-pose position on colourful mats and yoga rugs. A single standing figure in an orange robe stands at the front near the centre left, apparently overseeing the session. Decorative hanging panels with elephant motifs in blue, red and gold are suspended from the white ceiling, and a painted deity backdrop with a multi-armed figure hangs on the far wall. Ceiling fans, tripods holding cameras, and a tented white canopy complete the scene. Photo shows a group yoga practice in a temple-style assembly hall.
