Outdoor mallakhamba (Shivasthamba Yoga) session on a pale stone courtyard at the Nithyananda Peetham, with many participants practising around tall upright wooden poles. In the foreground a bald man in a black t-shirt and black shorts raises both arms beside a pole. Nearby a shirtless man in black shorts stands on a white mat with arms raised, and another shirtless participant stands on a mat further back. Several people in orange and saffron clothing practise on the right, and purple and blue mats lie across the ground. Behind them stand gold-coloured open pavilions with domed tops, a blue canopy tent and black speaker towers, under a cloudy sky. The participants are visible in the scene; the large crowd count is an estimate from the visible figures.
