A photograph of an outdoor festival scene on dirt ground beside a metal scaffold stage. A man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe and a large white flower garland with pink and blue accents, leans forward gripping a thick rope, his arm extended and pointing. Beside him, a man in white dhoti and shirt with a green shawl and several women in white saris and orange shawls pull the rope together. Other devotees in white and orange stand behind, with a decorated festival float and a crowd visible in the background under trees.
