A shirtless young man performs a mallakhamba pole yoga posture, balanced on a tall vertical wooden pole with his hands gripping the pole and one leg raised high over his head. He wears short dark shorts and a thin pendant necklace, and his body is tensed against a heavy grey cloudy sky. A gilded ornate platform with carved floral and lion-face motifs stands at the base of the pole, and gold metal frame structures appear at the edges. No other people are visible, and no identifiable a person figure appears in the scene.
