Outdoor mallakhamba (Shivasthamba Yoga) session on a large paved courtyard. Many participants stand, sit and perform poses on tall vertical wooden poles set on blue mats, several in orange shorts and bare-chested. In the foreground a shaved-head, bare-chested participant holds a wooden pole, and a smiling bare-chested woman with glasses stands with hands on hips. Two men in white shirts and dark trousers walk across the courtyard, and a blue canopy tent and red buildings with trees sit in the background under a bright sky.
