A sandy outdoor courtyard during a traditional Indian game. In the foreground a man in an orange shirt and white dhoti runs away from the camera across the sand, while another man in orange clothing crouches low on the ground, kicking up sand. Behind them a crowd of roughly thirty or more people stands and sits along a rope barrier in front of a white building, many in white kurtas with orange shawls, orange headbands and lanyards. Drummers in blue shirts stand at the left edge beside a drum, and a white-clad man with a lanyard watches at left. Palm trees, a white car and strings of small flags appear in the background.
