A photograph of an outdoor Janmashtami-style gathering on a dirt ground under a heavy grey cloudy sky. A red metal frame holds a suspended terracotta pot on a rope, a traditional dahi-handi setup. Behind it, a crowd of roughly thirty people stands in mixed dress: men and women in white and orange-saffron robes, others in casual shirts, jeans and saris. A figure in the foreground with long dark hair and a white cloth wrap stands with bare shoulders and tattoos on the arm. To the right, a red-draped table holds a gold-ornate seat or throne with offerings, and orange-clad attendants stand near it. Low buildings with a red roof and trees form the background, and a white van is parked at the right edge.
