A photograph of a playful outdoor tug-of-war on sandy ground with a crowd of onlookers behind a white fence. Several children and young women pull a thick rope, with a small child in orange and green crouching at the front. A young girl in a pink top and blue jeans pulls at the left, and a girl in a blue and gold salwar kameez pulls at the right, both shouting with joy. Behind them, an older woman in white sari with a rudraksha-style necklace leans into the rope, and a bald man in a white shirt and light trousers stands barefoot at the upper left, gesturing with his hand. Women in orange and cream saris and other spectators watch and cheer. No one in the image is identifiable as the a person, so there is no in-person candidate.
