A shaven-headed man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe performs a yoga pose on a polished floor, leaning on both palms with one leg raised high behind his head. He wears small hoop earrings and a red bindi, and a dark maroon drape and red patterned rug form the background. Cues are not distinctive enough to establish identity, so the person is described by role as a yoga practitioner in orange monastic dress.
