A performer hangs from a tall wooden pole on a stage with purple draped curtains, gripping it with both hands and legs in a gymnastic pole display. A bare-chested man in a white dhoti with an orange sash stands at right, facing the pole, with a rudraksha bead necklace and armbands. A tripod-mounted camera stands at left under blue stage lighting, and a seated figure in red with beads is partly visible at far right near a gold chair.

A shirtless man in black shorts performs a balancing feat, holding onto the top of a tall vertical wooden pole with both hands while his body extends horizontally in the air, feet pointed. Behind him, a bearded man with long hair and rudraksha-style beads, wearing a rust-orange cloth and a white flower garland, sits in a red velvet throne with gold trim and holds a microphone, seemingly addressing the audience. A magenta drape with swagged valance fills the backdrop, and the stage floor is blue. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, identified by the saffron-orange garments, long swept-back hair and garland cues.2018-03-28Indoor photo of a wooden pole exercise at an ashram hall with a blue mat underfoot. A shirtless young man in black shorts climbs a tall wooden pole near the ceiling. Below, a man with light hair, rudraksha mala necklaces, white body markings and a white dhoti with an orange border holds the pole steady. Framed photo collages hang on the walls, and a golden deity murti stands at the right edge beside a maroon curtain and a doorway.2018-03-28March 28 20182018-03-28 +1 copiesMarch 28 20182018-03-28March 28 20182018-03-28December 15 20162016-12-15Stage performance in a hall with red velvet drapes. A shirtless acrobat crouches atop a tall wooden pole, while a second shirtless performer in a white dhoti grips the pole below. Several seated people in black and orange-red clothing press their palms together. On the right, a bearded man in orange-red robes with rudraksha malas sits on a red-draped throne with a gold-framed backrest and golden lion figurines, appearing to be a seated presider; the appearance-based candidate for a person is probable but uncertain. A small gold lion statue sits at the stage edge and a wall-mounted air conditioner stands at left.2018-05-02March 28 20182018-03-28 +1 copiesAugust 26 20172017-08-26 +1 copiesMay 02 20182018-05-02 +1 copiesA stage performance before a deep magenta velvet drape with swagged valance and purple stage lighting.
