Wide outdoor view of a large paved courtyard at a Shivasthamba Yoga (mallakhamba) session, with many blue mats laid out and wooden poles standing upright. In the foreground a bare-chested, light-haired person in white shorts grips a vertical wooden pole on a striped mat. Nearby, a woman in red trousers and a man in an orange robe stand on mats, and several participants in orange and white sit or stand across the courtyard. A camera crane and tripods on the left suggest filming, and a large cranes boom arcs above the scene. Red brick buildings and trees sit beyond the courtyard under a cloudy sky. A carved wooden pillar edge appears at the right.
