Night photo of the Uri attam game at an outdoor ground. A dangler of decorative pots and colourful tinsel hangs from a horizontal bamboo pole, and a person in an orange-brown robe raises a stick to strike the pots. Gathered around in a loose circle are onlookers in white, cream and grey clothes, some in saffron-coloured robes, along with several children, one in pink, and a few adults in dark clothing. Tall posts with tinsel-wrapped decorations and yellow and orange paper lanterns frame the scene, with palm trees and a dark sky behind.
