A photograph of a group yoga or movement session in a bright hall with white walls, ceiling fans and wall-mounted air conditioners. In the centre, a bald man with a vertical tilak on his forehead wears a white kurta and white trousers, with a rudraksha mala and beaded necklaces; he stands with one knee raised and fists clenched, smiling. Around him, participants in white and dark clothes, including a young man in a grey t-shirt and a man in an orange-cord necklace, stand on green and pink exercise mats. A woman in white and others move in the background, and an orange cloth hangs on the left wall. The centre man is an appearance-based candidate for a person, though the cues are not sufficient to confirm identity, so the role is given as a participant leading the session.
