Outdoor photo of a Shivasthamba Yoga (mallakhamba) demonstration on a paved courtyard under a cloudy sky. In the foreground, a practitioner balances on top of a tall vertical wooden pole, body folded in a compact pose with bare upper body and orange cloth around the waist. Several other people in orange clothing sit or stand around the courtyard, and a few in black athletic wear stand near the poles. Additional wooden poles stand upright across the scene, with blue and orange mats laid on the ground and a red building and trees in the background.
