A man lies on his back on a blue yoga mat on a red-draped stage, legs raised vertically in a shoulder-stand style pose with his hands supporting his hips. He wears a black sleeveless top and black trousers, has long dreadlocked hair and a beaded necklace. Behind him stand golden trishul staffs against a sparkling blue-purple backdrop, a white electric fan sits at left, and a golden-draped seat with a small metal side table appears at right. The setting suggests a yoga demonstration on stage.
