A photograph of a young person in an orange robe performing a handstand on a white floor in front of a shrine. The shrine holds a gold-coloured deity murti with a crown, draped in a dense arch of red, yellow, white and green flower garlands over a blue silk skirt. A second person in orange with dark hair is partly visible at the lower left, kneeling or bending. A white wall air conditioner and a red mat are visible at the right edge.

Five young boys in matching saffron-orange robes perform headstands in a row on a white glossy stage. Their feet point upward and their hands rest on the floor. Behind them hang a dark maroon curtain and colourful tasselled garlands, and a golden lion-shaped throne with red cushions sits at the left edge. The stage reflects the performers.

A photograph inside a temple shrine at night. In the foreground, a figure in a long orange saffron wrap with a matching orange turban and long dark hair stands with palms joined before an altar. Beside them, a man in a white short-sleeved shirt and dark trousers and a second person in white stand with hands folded in prayer. The altar holds brass oil lamps, a lit flame, a brass bowl and a steel vessel. Behind it, a golden arch frames deity murti draped in red garments, bright garlands of marigolds and flowers, and a dark blue curtain. Flower arrangements hang at the left. The scene shows puja worship at a shrine.

The boy on the left wears an orange shorts-style garment and the boy on the right wears black shorts; both lean forward with their hands planted and legs extended backward in a balancing pose. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and hanging bells and lamps hang above the throne.
