Outdoor photo at dusk of Krishna Janmashtami games in a sandy pit in an ashram courtyard. Two wrestling-style pairs grapple on the sand: in the foreground a figure in orange robes bends over a younger person in orange, and beside them another person in orange is pressed down onto the sand. A crowd of onlookers stands around the pit, many in orange robes and rudraksha malas; a bald figure in orange stands at the front right, a man in a grey t-shirt and a man in black track pants stand with folded arms, and a person in white dhoti and mala stands at the right edge. Red and beige apartment buildings with a golden dome rise behind a row of trees.
