A photograph of a large crowd of devotees in white kurtas and dhotis with orange-red shawls, many standing with hands raised behind their heads in a stretching or breathing exercise. A camera on a tripod and a video camera are visible near the centre. Several figures wear orange-red shawls and orange beaded necklaces; the men in front wear white shirts and white dhotis with red sashes. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person, and the scene is a group practice rather than a single seated figure.
