A young boy in an orange saffron-coloured outfit performs a balancing yoga pose on a polished white floor, his palms and toes pressed down while his body is lifted and bent forward. A small red tilak mark is on his forehead. Behind him is a draped blue and gold-bordered cloth, a purple cloth, and garlands of yellow marigolds and red flowers. The setting suggests a yoga demonstration or ashram programme. No other physical people are visible.
