A photograph of a Shivastambha-style pole demonstration at an outdoor ground. Many shirtless young men and boys perform acrobatic poses on tall wooden poles, some balancing on top, others hanging or extending their legs, while blue padded mats cover the ground below. Several performers wear orange shorts and white loincloths, and a few wear white dhoti-style cloth. Spectators stand around the mats, including a man in a dark patterned shirt and women in pink and white saris. Red-roofed buildings and green trees form the background under a pale sky.
