Photograph of a large white-tented yoga session with colourful paper lanterns and tassels hanging overhead. A man in an orange-saffron robe with long hair and a beard sits cross-legged on an ornate silver-and-red throne-like seat on a green-draped platform, one hand raised, while a bearded man in black performs a standing tree-type balance pose with palms together and arms raised. In the foreground a shirtless man in black shorts stands on one leg with palms joined in prayer, and many participants in black, white and blue clothes sit or stretch on colourful striped mats. A photographer stands at upper left and a fan stands near the platform. The seated figure in saffron is a person in a ceremonial seat.
