Outdoor courtyard of a Shivasthamba Yoga (mallakhamba) practice session on a paved stone ground. Many vertical wooden poles stand upright on blue padded mats, with several practitioners in orange and saffron clothing and some in shorts gathered near the poles. A group of men in dark swimwear and bare chests stands at the left edge, and a figure in red and white performs on a pole near a red-draped platform. Golden ornamental pavilion structures, a lighting tower, cameras on tripods and parked white vans and cars fill the background, with a woman in a pink sari standing near a camera at center.

Several vertical wooden poles stand upright on blue crash mats. Behind them is a raised red-draped platform with a gold-coloured ornate throne-like seat and a figure seated in orange robes beside an attendant. Golden open-latticed canopy structures and gilded ceremonial carts or chariots frame the platform. Around the mats, roughly a dozen people in orange, red and white dhotis or shorts stand, sit and wait, and a few people in white and red clothing are near the stage. A camera crew with tripods is at the right edge. Parked vehicles and speaker stands surround the area.2017-10-03October 03 20172017-10-03October 03 20172017-10-03 +1 copiesOctober 03 20172017-10-03 +1 copiesOctober 03 20172017-10-03October 03 20172017-10-03 +1 copiesOctober 03 20172017-10-03 +1 copies
