Outdoor photo on dusty ground of a shaved-headed man in white dhoti and white shirt with a red-and-cream border, wearing glasses, pressing a barbell on a white Hercules weight rack. Green and purple exercise mats lie beneath him, with weight plates on the ground. Around him a crowd of men and boys in white kurtas and dhotis watches and claps; one man in a white kurta holds a microphone. A man in a white dhoti with gold-bordered shawl stands at right applauding. A small boy in grey stands among them. Blue sky and trees behind.
