A photograph of a large hall with a green mat floor where a crowd of devotees sits in rows, most wearing white blindfold-style headbands. In the centre, a young person in an orange sleeveless robe and orange wrap stands barefoot looking upward, apparently a sannyasi or a participant in a guided exercise. Many seated people wear white, with some in pink, teal, yellow and green saris and kurtas. Several people lie prone on the mat in white clothing, and a cameraman in a light shirt stands at the top right. Plastic water bottles are visible on the floor.
