Outdoor mallakhamba practice at the Nithyananda Peetham grounds in Bengaluru. Many women and some men in mixed colours stand among tall wooden poles set upright on a paved courtyard, with blue and pink mats laid on the ground. Several women wear orange and saffron kurtas and salwar, others wear black leggings and tops, and one wears a yellow kurta. Some participants raise their arms, some hold water bottles, and a few walk toward the poles. A green vehicle and red-walled buildings stand in the background among trees.
