Outdoors under a corrugated metal shelter with a red wall and chain-link fence behind, a group of people watch two men wrestling on sandy ground during a Krishna Janmashtami games session. A man in white kurta and dhoti with a red shawl and rudraksha mala stands at left, hands extended, watching closely. Two men are grappling: one in a black shirt and dark trousers, the other in orange robes, bent together in struggle. Around them stand women in orange and red saris and orange robes, a woman in a green sari at right, and others in white and blue, watching. Some rudraksha malas are visible on several onlookers.
