Two shaved-headed young men in saffron-orange robes perform yoga balancing poses on a polished white floor in front of a colourful painted temple wall with pink and yellow lotus-petal borders and a golden deity statue at the right edge. The man on the left is in a hand-balance, weight on his palms and one bare foot raised high, while the man on the right stands on one leg with the other foot lifted behind him and his palms pressed together in namaskar near his chest. A dark maroon curtain hangs behind them, and a red patterned rug lies at their feet.
