Two men in white dhotis with gold borders and white shawls kneel on a polished floor, bending forward with their arms raised and crossed over their heads in a yoga-style posture. Both wear rudraksha malas and have white sacred ash markings on their arms and upper bodies. Behind them, blurred figures in white and yellow clothing sit in rows in a hall with red drapery. The image is a photograph of a group practice session. No figure is identifiable as a person.
