A seated audience in white clothes fills a hall, facing a stage at the far end where several people in white and saffron sit near a podium and a portrait of a turbaned man hangs on the back wall. Many attendees sit on red and white plastic chairs, mostly seen from behind, with a standing man in a white shirt at right. Ceiling lights and wall fixtures are visible. The scene suggests a yoga or meditation session, a yoga programme in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, but only the visible seating and stage are shown.
