Outdoor folk dance performance on sandy ground. A group of dancers in pink and magenta turbans and vests over blue and red-orange outfits with green embroidered panels links arms and leans forward in a line, pulling on a long rope stretched between wooden poles. A drummer on the left plays a large dhol drum. A man in a white shirt and black dhoti with a gold vest stands at the front of the line. Behind them, others in yellow kurtas and red shirts watch, and a bald foreign-looking man in a vest stands at the left edge. Trees and a clear sky form the backdrop, with a red carpet at the lower right.
