Outdoors on sandy ground, a shaven-headed man in white dhoti and white shirt with a red-and-white shawl and cream waistbelt lifts a barbell loaded with weight plates on a white rack, his arms raised overhead while a crowd of about thirty men in white kurtas and white dhotis, many with orange headbands and rudraksha-style necklaces, stand around him, some clapping with hands raised. A bare-chested man stands at the far left, and a woman in orange appears at the right edge. Green mat underfoot. Watermarked archive image.
