A large hall with cream walls and red curtains hosts a seated group meditation or yoga session. Many participants sit cross-legged on purple, blue and grey mats in white or light clothing, hands in anjali mudra. A man in a khaki shirt and a bald man in a white T-shirt sit prominently near the centre, and a man in a pink shirt sits at lower right beside a pair of dumbbells. A framed picture of a deity murti hangs on the back wall beside a wooden shrine, and a red cloth draped over a stand is visible. Brass stanchions line the aisles. The floor is polished tile.

A photograph of a large indoor hall with a polished reflective floor where a group of about two dozen women sit kneeling on yoga mats in rows, palms pressed together in anjali mudra with eyes closed, in a meditative or prayerful posture. Most wear black tops and dark trousers; one woman in front wears a red patterned top, another a dark blue top, and a woman at the front right wears a black top with a purple waistband. Small silver dumbbells and water bottles sit between the mats, and yellow-and-orange cloth banners hang along the top of the room. At the back, a few people sit near tables with white cloths and a buffet. No a person candidate is clearly visible among the participants.
