Outdoor courtyard of an ashram set up for a mallakhamba pole yoga event. Several wooden poles stand upright on a paved stone ground, with blue and orange mats laid around them. Four women in white clothes stand in the foreground looking on, one with a white head covering. Other people in white and light clothes move around the mats and stage equipment. On the right, a golden ornate canopy structure covers a raised platform draped in a striped cloth, where figures in orange robes sit near deity-like decorations. A stage with a lighting rig and speakers stands behind, and a red building with a purple logo is at left.
