A standing man in a loose orange saffron robe and wrap, with a red bindi on his forehead, raises both arms overhead in a yoga-style stance inside a hall with a green floor. Seated rows of people in white clothing with white headbands face him on the floor. Behind him, a stage has maroon and white draped valances and a large portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" showing a smiling man in an orange turban. A projector screen and ceiling fans are visible. The orange-clad man has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, a distinctive presentation, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate leading the group practice. Roughly 50 to 100 seated people are visible.
