A photo from a yoga session in a large hall with colourful hanging decorations overhead. A bearded man in a saffron-orange robe with a tilak on his forehead walks down the centre aisle with eyes closed, hands at his sides, across striped rainbow mats. Around him many participants stand in prayer pose with palms together, some in black clothing and a woman in a red top at left; a person bends forward in a yoga posture on the mats. Swamiji (probable): the walking man has long hair, a saffron robe and a tilak, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji leading the session. Yoga and satsang setting, several dozen people visible.
