The climber is bare-chested, wearing an orange-red loincloth, a black blindfold, a beaded necklace and white body markings. Around the pole, a seated crowd of young men and boys wears orange and saffron garments, rudraksha malas and white forehead and body markings. Some have long hair in topknots. Framed photographs hang on the walls, and a digital clock reads 08:56. A brass trident-like object sits on a stand near the wall.
