A woman in black athletic clothing performs an aerial rope acrobatic move, inverted in mid-air with one arm gripping a hanging rope and her legs extended. Seated audience members in front watch: several women in black tops kneel on the floor, while others in white or rust-red shawls and saris sit on chairs, some with bindis and beaded necklaces. A large framed photo collage of saffron-robed monks hangs on the pink wall behind, beside red curtains and a wooden door.
