Wide outdoor courtyard of paved grey stone with many blue mats laid out in rows, where people practise mallakhamba, a pole yoga. In the foreground a shirtless young man with long dark hair and a white loincloth-style cloth grips a tall wooden pole while a man in an orange shirt and a man in a black shirt steady and support him. Behind them many other practitioners in orange and white are spread across the mats and pole stands, some hanging or climbing. Red multi-storey buildings, a tent canopy and a cameraman on a tripod line the courtyard under an overcast sky.
