Outdoor scene on a dug-out earth site with a sloped embankment, where a large crowd of devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas, with some women in white saris and others in orange, pink and patterned clothing, stands along the edge handing and sprinkling items from cloth bundles. In the foreground, a man in a checked shirt and white dhoti, a man in a pink kurta, and a grey-haired man in a patterned shirt stand at the edge of the pit. Behind them is a fenced field with scrub trees, low stone markers and a distant sky. The activity appears to be a ritual at an excavated pit, with offerings being passed among participants.
