Outdoor photograph of a large mallakhamba (pole yoga) session on a paved stone courtyard at a Nithyananda Dhyanapeetham ashram. Many wooden poles stand upright across the ground, with blue padded mats beside them. Participants in saffron-orange shorts and tops, plus some in dark or red clothing, stand, stretch and pose near the poles. A man in a white dhoti and white top, and a man in a red shirt, stand out in the middle. A blue canopy tent is at left, and a red-walled building with palm trees is behind. Several dozen people are visible.
