Large tented hall during a yoga session at AadiKailaasa, with many people standing in rows on patterned floor mats, hands pressed together in namaste. Most wear white clothing: men in white kurtas and dhotis, women in white saris with coloured borders. Some have lanyards and identification badges. A woman in front wears a white sari with a gold border and rudraksha-style beads, a woman on the right wears a red blouse and cream sari, and a video camera on a tripod stands at the left. Hanging cylindrical banners with yellow, orange and dark geometric and animal patterns decorate the ceiling, and a screen is visible at the back. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable, so the presence is unsure.
