Photo 11714972 +1 copiesPhoto 11714970A photograph of a outdoor demonstration of Shivastambha, a traditional pole-gymnastics display, on a sandy ground in front of a red-walled building with a green sloped roof. Many shirtless young men in white dhotis and orange cloths stand, climb and balance on tall wooden poles set into blue padded mats, with one performer in orange shorts extended in a high kick at the top of a pole. A man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a yellow border stands at the right, watching with his hands held together. Several others lie or sit on the mats in the foreground, and a figure in white walks at the far right. Trees and a water tank appear in the background.2017-07-08July 08 20172017-07-08Photo 11714979 +1 copiesJuly 08 20172017-07-08July 08 20172017-07-08 +1 copiesOctober 04 20172017-10-04 +2 copiesJuly 08 20172017-07-08July 10 20172017-07-10July 08 20172017-07-08Outdoor demonstration at a paved courtyard with blue gym mats where many shirtless men and some women in white dhoti-style cloth and orange garments perform Shivastambha-style pole and body-balancing postures.
