Night-time outdoor photo of a game played on a bare reddish-brown dirt ground marked with white chalk lines. Three women in dark clothing face each other in a playful stance, one in a black VOGUE t-shirt and black pants, one in black leggings with curly hair, and one in a black kurta on the right smiling. A crowd of onlookers stands behind them, including women in saffron, pink, teal and red outfits, a shirtless man with a white dhoti and a garland near the center-left, and a few children. A bright light illuminates the scene from the back. The setting suggests a community game during a Krishna Janmashtami celebration.
