Four men in matching saffron-orange monastic robes with gold-edged borders stand on a red stage in front of a large temple-carving backdrop. The central man in front holds a steel barbell horizontally at waist height with both hands, facing the camera with a determined expression. Two men on either side and one behind clap and smile. All wear rudraksha mala necklaces and bare feet. A stylised temple-pillar mural with the word Celebrations in white script fills the background.

November 02 20132013-11-02Four saffron-robed men stand on a red stage before a sepia temple-mural backdrop with the word "Celebrations" in large white script. The central man holds a loaded barbell across his waist, his face set in effort, with a rudraksha mala and a pendant around his neck. Two men flank him with palms pressed together, and the man on the right smiles while clapping. A fifth figure is partly visible behind the group. The scene suggests a staged performance or display at a celebration.2013-11-02November 02 20132013-11-02November 02 20132013-11-02November 02 20132013-11-02November 02 20132013-11-02November 02 20132013-11-02November 02 20132013-11-02November 02 20132013-11-02November 02 20132013-11-02November 02 20132013-11-02A stage performance on a red carpet in front of a backdrop of carved temple pillars and sculpted figures, with the word "Celebrations" partly visible at the top. A central saffron-robed man, bald with a red forehead mark, rudraksha mala around his neck and bracelets on his wrists, grips a steel barbell with weight plates at both ends. Three men in saffron dhotis and shawls stand around him, two with hands pressed in anjali gesture and one behind him. Two black mats lie on the floor beside the bar. The central figure shows no clear distinctive a person cues such as long hair, crown or ornate ceremonial dress, so his identity is uncertain.2013-11-02
