Aerial photograph of a large paved courtyard where many people practise Shivasthamba Yoga (mallakhamba) on vertical wooden poles. Tall wooden poles stand upright across the stone pavement, with blue and maroon crash mats laid around their bases. Many participants in white or dark loincloths and shorts stand, walk or pose between the poles, while several people in saffron and orange robes move among them. A black stage scaffold with speakers and a lighting tower stands at the right, and trees edge the frame.
