A night photograph of an outdoor children's game at an ashram. Overhead hangs a decorated frame with clay pots strung from it, wrapped in red and gold tinsel and streamers. On the right, a figure in an orange robe holding a long stick stands beside the swinging rope, about to strike the pots. Around them, a crowd of adults in white dhotis and kurtas, and children in school uniforms, watch and gather. A tall striped pole stands at the right edge, and small lights glow in the background trees. The orange-robed figure fits the page's Uri attam game context, but the visible cues are a saffron robe and stick only, so identity is unsure.2006-11-14Night-time photograph of a Uri attam game at an outdoor ground.
