Aerial view of a large paved stone courtyard where many participants perform mallakhamba, a vertical wooden pole yoga. Numerous tall wooden poles stand upright on blue and pink mats, with performers in orange saffron clothing, black shorts and white shorts gripping or posing on them. Some figures in orange and saffron robes stand near the poles, and a few people in black tops and white dress are scattered across the stones. In the lower right, a tall white metal lighting and speaker truss with black speaker cabinets and equipment cases stands beside two men in orange and red cloth, one bare-chested. Electrical cables run across the pavement under bright sunlight.
