A tug-of-war contest on a dusty sandy ground at an outdoor ashram field. Several bald men in white kurta-style clothes with yellow or maroon waist sashes lean back hard on a thick yellow rope, kicking up sand. Some wear orange cloth around their waists. Behind them drummers with large drums and a man in a striped shirt stand near a white pickup truck and metal fencing. A few seated spectators in white and orange sit at the right edge, and a tall flagpole with a red flag rises in the background. No a person candidate is clearly visible.
