A large indoor hall with a red floor covered in rows of striped meditation mats, where a crowd of participants sits and stretches with arms raised overhead, many in black tops and grey or blue trousers. Colourful paper lanterns and kalasha-style hanging decorations fill the ceiling above, and a large screen and a camera on a tripod are visible at the sides. In the lower right corner, a small framed portrait of a figure in orange clothing sits on a white cloth, and a white-robed attendant is partly visible beside it. The scene looks like a group yoga or meditation session.
