Overhead photo of a paved stone courtyard where a group of practitioners in orange and saffron clothing gathers around a tall vertical wooden pole, a mallakhamba-style setup. Blue padded mats lie at the left edge with a striped pink and green cloth folded on them. Several bare-chested men and women in orange shorts or orange tops stand in a loose circle. One practitioner in a black top and black pants, with long hair, stands near the centre with hands clasped, apparently observing or instructing. Some participants wear orange shirts with printed Sri Ram lettering on the back. The scene looks like a yoga pole training session.
