Outdoors on a striped cotton mat, a young man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a red and gold-bordered shawl performs a forward-bending yoga posture with palms pressed together in namaste, one leg raised behind him. A gold chain hangs at his neck. Around him, a loose semicircle of about a dozen white-clad men and women stands on dry ground with trees behind, clapping or holding hands in prayer; some women wear white saris with gold borders. The scene reads as a yoga demonstration at an outdoor youth gathering.
