Outdoor evening scene on a muddy ground at dusk, with a crowd of roughly 40 people gathered around a tall red metal frame from which a dark pot hangs by a rope, a Dahi Handi-style pot-breaking setup for Krishna Janmashtami. Participants wear saris, salwar kameez and kurtas in orange, red, yellow, blue and black, while others in white and casual shirts and jeans stand at the edges. A few people in white garments stand at the far left. Red-roofed buildings, trees and a glowing floodlight frame the background, with a puddled ground after rain.
