A photograph of a large yoga or meditation hall with a white tent ceiling and ceiling fans, decorated with tall colourful cylindrical banners. Dozens of practitioners stand on blue, grey, pink and orange yoga mats in rows, stretching with arms raised; many wear white clothing, one woman wears a yellow sari and another a yellow shawl, and a woman in the foreground wears a white garment with an orange-red sash. At the far end of the hall a small altar or stage is visible on a wall with a clock. The scene suggests group yoga practice; no speaker is clearly identifiable.
