Outdoor photo of a colourful festival scene under a open-sided corrugated roof on a sandy ground, with palm trees behind. Several young men and boys in saffron-orange robes stand around blue plastic drums, one pouring water from a bucket, another holding a hose, while a figure in a white dhoti-style garment is sprayed with water and coloured powder. Ground and puddles are stained pink, red and blue. A large crowd of onlookers, many in orange, pink and yellow saris, watches from the background. Several people appear in the photo, and a copper pot hangs from a rope between two red poles.
