A smiling woman in black fitted top and black loose trousers performs a yoga pose on a vertical wooden pole, hands pressed together at chest height, legs wrapped around the pole in a mallakhamba posture. A race-style number bib is pinned to her top. Behind her on a stone-paved courtyard, other practitioners lie on mats and stand near similar poles under a blue sky with clouds. Stone buildings, a red-walled structure with a golden temple facade and scaffolding, and a cluster of people in orange and white clothing stand in the background.
