Night outdoor photograph of a sandy courtyard enclosed by a chain-link fence and a corrugated roof under floodlights. Two women in black clothes and a woman in a grey sheer top are mid-action, grappling in a kabaddi-style game inside a chalk-marked ring. Around the edge, a crowd of about twenty-five people watches: several women in white and cream saris, women in red and orange, a girl in a green dress, and men and women in black tops. Children in orange and red sit on the left ground, leaning forward. A white-clad man in the centre wears a red sash, and a figure in white stands at the top left.
