Indoor group practice in a hall with blue and pink exercise mats on a wooden floor. In the foreground a man with grey hair wears white clothes with an orange shawl. Beside him a man in a black T-shirt printed with a spiral graphic and the words 'Take a Spiritual Step Forward' stands with a red bindi and fists raised, while behind him a row of about a dozen participants in white and black clothing stands in similar posture. A clock hangs on the wall and a small logo sits in the upper left corner. No one is identified here; the page ties the scene to a 2012 Nirahara Samyama event.
