A shirtless young boy in orange shorts performs a balancing pole gymnastics feat, his body extended horizontally and gripping a tall wooden pole with one hand while his legs stretch out behind him. Behind him hangs a deep maroon velvet drape with gold fringe under a ceiling with spotlights. To the left is a colourful painted temple-style facade with pink and green lotus-motif pillars and a statue of a four-armed deity with a crown, gold jewellery and a raised hand holding an object. A partially visible person is at the bottom right edge.
