A large tent-hall yoga session with participants on striped mats. A central man in an orange-red robe with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead walks forward barefoot while the crowd sits and stands with palms pressed together in anjali. Around them, people in black clothes kneel or stand, a woman in black on the left holds hands in prayer, and a man in a white shirt and brown trousers on the right bows with palms together. Colourful bunting hangs from the ceiling and a fan stands on the mat area. Behind, a cameraman and a figure in white stand near a stage with a dark wooden peetha-like platform.

December 15 20162016-12-15A barefoot man with long dark hair and a full beard, wearing a saffron-orange draped garment, walks smiling across a stage set with striped rugs and a green cloth. Behind him stands a white ornate throne with red cushions, where a woman in a red and gold sari sits beside an electric fan. Around him, many people in black clothes sit or stand with palms pressed together in namaskar, and a cameraman films from a raised platform. Orange and yellow banners hang overhead in a bright white tent.

Around him participants in black and white clothing stand, kneel and sit with palms pressed together in namaste; a man in a white t-shirt and brown trousers and a shirtless man in black shorts are among them. A standing fan and a statue of a deity figure sit in the background.2016-12-15A photograph of a yoga session in a large hall decorated with hanging colourful tassels and paper lanterns.

A bearded man in a saffron-orange sannyasi wrap walks barefoot toward a raised green and red seat where a figure in orange sits. Around him, participants in black clothing stand or kneel with palms joined in anjali, some raising hands overhead. Small oil lamps and candles sit on the floor, a standing fan is visible, and colourful paper streamers hang from the ceiling. A cameraman films from the back. The swami in orange appears to be a candidate for a person, with a sweeping beard and saffron robe, but the face and seat occupant are not clear enough to confirm. Roughly thirty people are visible in the hall.2016-12-15December 16 20162016-12-16
