Outdoor courtyard view of a mallakhamba pole yoga session on a paved stone ground. Several vertical wooden poles stand on mats, with practitioners performing postures on them. Some are in orange saffron clothing, one wears red, others are bare-chested in white dhoti and shorts. A few people in white and red stand around the poles. A camera on a tripod and a cameraman appear at left, and a green bus and red walls sit in the background. No identifiable a person appearance is evident, so the figures are described by role and clothing only.
