A performer in an orange top and orange trousers, with long dark dreadlocks, hangs mid-air on a white rope while performing a rope acrobatic pose with bent legs and arms raised near the face. The indoor hall has white walls, a suspended ceiling with fluorescent panels, and deep red curtains. Two framed photo collages hang on the wall: the left one labelled Glimpses of Kumbh Mela 2007 Prayag, Allahabad India, showing saffron-clad sadhus and crowds; the right one showing saffron-clad figures and a sign reading Sanyas. No a person candidate is visible on the performer or in the framed collages, and the portraits show other sadhus.

Below, a figure in red and gold sits on a golden throne-like seat at the left edge, and two painted deity figures in purple skirts stand on a platform at the right. Red velvet curtains and framed photographs of Kumbh Mela crowds in saffron hang on the pale pink walls of the hall. A white rope is the main prop; the setting suggests a stage performance during an event.2017-08-26August 26 20172017-08-26 +1 copies
