Outdoors on a dusty ground, a man in a white dhoti with a gold-bordered cloth draped over his bare upper body stands on a green mat, gripping a white steel barbell-style bar fitted with blue plates on a racked frame. A man in a white shirt and grey trousers with an orange headband stands at left, while a man in a white shirt and olive cargo trousers holds a microphone near the lifter. A large crowd of men and youths in white kurtas, white dhotis, rudraksha-style beaded malas and orange headbands surrounds the lifter, some in orange or saffron cloth. A plate stands visible on the mat. Partially visible people appear at the right edge.
