Outdoor photo of a Shivasthamba Yoga (mallakhamba) practice session on a paved courtyard. Many participants in saffron-orange and red robes and sarees, plus others in black, white, blue and pink clothing, stand or move in groups. Several tall upright wooden poles stand on the paved ground, with blue padded mats laid beside them. A red-brick building with stone steps and a small crowd watching behind it forms the backdrop, along with a stage speaker and equipment box on the right. No identifiable a person figure is clearly visible, so the photo shows participants and volunteers rather than a specific leader.

Behind the poles, a red brick building and a green truck appear among palm trees and a stone wall. Crowds are dense with many people visible, but the image shows far more than a hundred people only if counted precisely, so the group is best described as a large gathering.2017-10-03 +1 copiesOctober 03 20172017-10-03 +1 copiesOutdoor photograph of a large mallakhamba (pole yoga) session on a paved stone courtyard at a Nithyananda Dhyanapeetham ashram.
