A man in black yoga clothes and a dark shirt performs a balancing yoga pose on an orange and cream mat, legs raised high in the air with one hand planted on the floor. A rudraksha mala hangs around his bare neck. Behind him is a tiered white-draped altar crowded with small deity murtis, garlands of white and red flowers, and a brass oil lamp to the left. A large portrait of a smiling bearded man with long hair, wearing layered beaded garlands and a bangle, hangs on the wall above the altar; it is a depiction, but the appearance cues are not sufficiently distinctive to confirm an identity. A wall clock and a small framed picture sit on the right wall.
