A young boy with short dark hair sits cross-legged in mid-air against a white textured wall, hands pressed together in anjali mudra at his chest. He wears a blue, orange and grey striped short-sleeved polo shirt, black trousers and a gold bangle on his wrist. Behind him hangs a red and white striped cloth over an orange ledge. The photo appears to show a levitation-style yoga posture rather than a seated meditation.
