Outdoor performance of Shivasthamba Yoga (mallakhamba pole yoga) under a dramatic cloudy sky. A shirtless performer in dark shorts balances atop a tall vertical wooden pole, while two other shirtless performers hold the pole steady from below with their arms. Spectators in dark and orange clothing, some wearing rudraksha-style necklaces, watch from the foreground. Ornate gold-painted structures frame the scene, including a gilded arch and a gold-carved pavilion with latticed panels. On the left, a painted figure in orange and red garb appears on a gold backdrop, and a gold chariot-like frame stands on the right.
