A yoga session in a red-draped hall with a red stage. Around twenty participants sit cross-legged or kneel on colourful striped mats, mostly in black clothes and some with beaded necklaces, with eyes closed in meditation. A woman in a white kurta and white trousers stands barefoot on the stage area with her arms outstretched, apparently leading the practice. Behind her, a large deity murti with a hooded serpent canopy sits on a rocky pedestal, flanked by golden trident stands and a backdrop screen showing a glowing pink image. A cameraman in a white dhoti works a camera on a tripod at left, and a silver water bottle sits on the mat at lower right.
