Outdoor yoga and mallakhamba practice on a paved courtyard. Many participants stand beside tall vertical wooden poles, several bare-chested in orange or saffron dhotis and shorts, some in white or red clothes, arms raised in poses. Blue and dark mats lie on the ground. Behind them, ornate golden canopy structures with domed lattice tops frame a central golden throne-like seat with a deity or portrait figure, and a speaker tower and white vehicles stand nearby under trees.
