A photograph of a yoga demonstration in a large hall with white tiled floor and ceiling lights. A young man performs a headstand on top of a metal table, his legs raised upright, wearing white dhoti-style cloth with a red-orange sash. Red mats are laid out on the floor beneath him, and a man in a beige kurta kneels at the table's edge helping steady it. Around them a large crowd of spectators, including devotees in white, saffron and red clothing and visitors in western clothes, watches closely. Some men wear red, orange and olive dhotis and bare torsos; a woman in blue stands near the left. Framed pictures line the walls behind the crowd.
