A photograph of a performer in an orange-red cloth hanging upside down from a tall wooden pole, gripping it with both hands and legs. Long dreadlocked hair falls toward the floor. Behind the pole, an ornate gold-framed shrine holds a seated deity murti in gold and green drapery. On the right, a bare-chested man with white painted markings wears a white dhoti, and beside him stands a bare-chested man with long hair and a white dhoti, plus a figure in white near the edge. Framed photographs of saffron-clad sannyasis line the wall, and a red digital clock shows 08:34 PM. Several people sit in the lower left.
