A large bright hall with white ceiling tiles and ceiling fans hosts a gymnastics-style yoga demonstration. A young man in orange-red trousers and a red sash leaps upside down over a metal bar, legs extended, while a helper in white dhoti and a red-bordered shawl supports him from below. Red mats lie on the floor beneath the bar. A tall man in a red kurta and white dhoti stands at the bar's right end, and a man in a golden-brown kurta with a red sash watches nearby. Surrounding spectators in white kurtas, saffron cloths, orange and blue garments, and rudraksha malas stand against the walls, with framed paintings on the walls behind them.
