Photograph of a gymnastic or pole-performance demonstration on a red mat inside a decorated hall with yellow draped fabric overhead. Two bare-chested young men in white dhoti-style cloth perform on bamboo poles with banana-leaf fronds; one hangs by his arms and legs from ropes while another climbs or balances on a pole. A shirtless young man in white cloth sits cross-legged at the left edge on a blue mat. Seated audience members in saris, kurtas and orange and red clothing watch from the right, and a large screen at the left shows the stage. A small photographer's credit reads Nithyananda Peetham 2017 at the lower right.
