A stage performance in front of an ornate golden throne (peetha) decorated with red flowers, white floral scalloped arches and yellow-and-white panels. Five young men in white clothes perform yoga poses on a red-and-white stage: one stands on the dais behind the throne with hands in prayer, one balances on his head at the centre, and two others stretch in side poses with legs raised. Flower motifs and a patterned rug lie on the platform, and a helper in white stands at the right edge. The performers appear to be yoga demonstrators; no one is identifiable as a person from the visible cues.
