Four young men in saffron-orange robes perform headstand yoga poses on a red-carpeted stage in front of a gold-framed portrait on a golden throne. The portrait shows a smiling man in an orange turban and saffron robes. The golden throne has red cushions and a tiger-striped throw, with a golden lion ornament beside it. Dark red velvet drapes form the backdrop. The men balance upside down with legs raised, and their faces are partly covered by white face masks.

November 10 20132013-11-10Four young men in matching saffron-orange kurta-style clothing perform headstand yoga poses side by side on a white stage. Their legs are crossed in the air, feet bare. Behind them, a gold-framed portrait of a smiling man wearing an orange turban with a red bindi and an orange shawl hangs above a golden throne with a red velvet cushion and a tiger-skin cover, in front of deep red velvet curtains. The portrait is not a physical person and no candidate is present in person, so this is a depiction only if the portrait itself is treated as a Swamiji depiction. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues in the portrait include orange turban and orange shawl.2013-11-10November 10 20132013-11-10October 06 20132013-10-06November 10 20132013-11-10October 06 20132013-10-06March 30 20132013-03-30Four young boys perform yoga inversions on a polished floor in front of a deep purple velvet drape.
