A photograph of a festive outdoor scene on reddish dirt ground at dusk, where people are splashed with blue colour powder or liquid thrown from a pot. A clay pot hangs from a rope high at upper centre, apparently being broken to release the colour. A woman with a ponytail in a white t-shirt and white pants stands in the foreground facing away, while a man in a white and blue-splattered t-shirt and a man in a lavender t-shirt and light trousers run and throw colour nearby. Other people in white or light clothing and an orange top stand in the background. A large dark blue signboard with white lettering stands at right. The scene resembles a Holi-style colour celebration in a ashram courtyard setting.
