A performer on a stage performs a standing yoga balance pose, one leg raised high behind him with the foot held overhead, the other arm extended forward. He is shirtless with a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, grey-white loose trousers, and dreadlocked hair, with skin painted or tinted grey-blue. Behind him stands a large gold-plated bull (Nandi) draped in a red and gold cloth and a pink garland, with decorated deity statues in the background wearing red and green garlands, crowns and jewelled necklaces. A red carpet lies at the lower left. The scene suggests a yoga darshan demonstration.
