Outdoor view of a paved courtyard where practitioners perform Shivasthamba Yoga, also called mallakhamba, on tall vertical wooden poles set on pink and grey mats. Several people in saffron-orange clothes stand and balance on poles, some in pale white dhotis and others bare-chested in dark shorts. A woman in a white sari stands near a pole at left, and a few onlookers stand at the edges. A red building and green bus sit behind the courtyard, a camera crane arm extends overhead, and bamboo foliage fills the lower right. No identifiable a person figure is visible among the practitioners.
