Outdoor photograph of a large mallakhamba pole yoga demonstration at an ashram courtyard. A shirtless performer in blue shorts hangs horizontally from a tall wooden pole in mid-air, while nearby men in bare torsos and short shorts stand around the wooden poles. Behind a red carpeted platform, a gold-painted ornate palanquin-style structure stands at left. A crowd of many people, including saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees in orange and white clothes, gathers on the paved courtyard, with blue mats on the ground and white poles. A film crane arm extends from the upper right and parked cars and a stage scaffold appear in the background.
