Outdoors on dusty ground, a shaved-headed man in plain white dhoti and kurta with a red-bordered cloth over one shoulder and a leather belt grips a weight-training barbell on a white steel rack, stepping forward on a purple mat over a green mat. Weight plates lie on the mat. Around him a crowd of men in white and saffron clothing watches, some in orange shawls, some holding phones or a camera. Another man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands at the right side of the bar, and a man in white shirt and orange shawl at right holds a microphone. The man at the front is not confidently identified; he is a person in white ritual-style clothing, not clearly a candidate for the named figure, so the depiction is uncertain.
