Four young boys perform a synchronized yoga or gymnastic sequence on a glossy white stage in front of a colourful temple backdrop. Three boys wear saffron-orange robes and two boys wear plain black t-shirts; all have shaved heads. Their hands and feet are planted, with bodies stretched in a bridge-like position, and two boys in black shirts wear dark-framed glasses. Behind them are painted multi-armed deity figures holding weapons and gold garments, with a dark maroon curtain at centre and blue, pink and yellow decorative pillars.
