Outdoor tug-of-war on a sandy ground during an evening celebration. Children in white kurtas and dark shorts pull a thick rope taut, with a line of adults in white dhotis and kurtas on the left and a boy in a blue checked shirt joining the pull. Behind them stands a small deity murti on a white pedestal with a kalasha, flanked by orange-draped platforms and two colourful striped umbrellas. Spectators in white clothing sit and stand along the back, and a concrete unfinished building and a white van are visible beyond. No identifiable a person figure is clearly present.
