Outdoors on bare dirt, a man in white dhoti and white kurta with a red-and-white sash lifts a barbell on a white Hercules squat rack, standing barefoot on a purple mat over a green mat. Crowded around him, about thirty men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with orange or yellow cloths and rudraksha beads, watch or sit on the ground. Stacked weight plates lie on the green mat. Behind them are trees, a low red-brick wall and a tiled building roof under a clear sky.
