A photograph of an indoor hall with a large seated audience of devotees in white ritual clothes and some in red shirts. In the foreground a performer in orange cloth is mid-air, balancing upside down on a tall wooden pole with legs extended, above a blue mat. Beside the pole stands a bare-chested young man in a white dhoti and white body markings, and at right another shirtless young man in an orange loincloth with a red cloth wrap. An ornate gold and green throne-like seat with a deity murti and framed photographs decorate the right wall, and a gold ornate frame hangs nearby. Ceiling fans and fluorescent lights hang above.
