Close photograph of a seated row of men at a yoga session, facing right in a warm, red-lit hall. Shaved-headed men wear white, black and tan clothing with rudraksha malas around their necks; one man in the centre has short dark hair, a peach-coloured kurta and a rudraksha mala. A man at right has a red tilak on his forehead and a black shirt with a brown strap. Several other people are partly visible at the edges. No clear appearance-based candidate for a person is visible, so the seated attendees are described by role and clothing only.
