A photograph of an open dirt field under tall coconut palms on a bright, hazy day. A group of about twenty men stands and sits in loose clusters on the sandy ground, several in white dhotis and shirts, one bare-chested man in the centre with a white cloth over his shoulder. Woven mats are spread on the ground, scattered paper litter lies around them, and a fenced area and distant buildings are visible behind. A tiny bright flame appears at the lower right edge.
