Outdoor mallakhamba practice in a paved courtyard in front of a red multi-storey building with unfinished upper floors. Several shirtless male practitioners in orange dhoti-style cloths perform pole yoga on tall vertical wooden poles set on blue mats. One practitioner in a black top and shorts stands on a mat near the centre, and another in orange climbs or balances on a pole at right. A man in white dhoti with a saffron head wrap walks across the courtyard at centre, and a yellow-green tarpaulin shelter and speaker stacks stand behind. Trees and a cloudy sky sit beyond.
