A man in a white dhoti and white shawl with a maroon border stands on a green mat, gripping a barbell on a white Hercules squat rack outdoors on sandy ground. He is shaved-headed, wears glasses, and has a beige belt at his waist. Around him, a crowd watches; a man in a white shirt holds a handheld microphone, a saffron-robed man stands behind the bar, and a clapping man in white dhoti with a gold border smiles at right. Metal weight plates lie on the mat, and a camera operator is at left.
