A young man stands at the top of a tall wooden pole, supported by a pyramid of shirtless men in white dhotis who grip the pole and lean outward with arms extended. Blue padded mats lie on the ground beneath. In the foreground, a bearded man with a brown rudraksha mala sits cross-legged in meditation posture on a blue mat, watching the display. Green trees, a white car and a red wall sit in the background under a pale sky.
