Night photograph of a dusty outdoor courtyard under a corrugated roof with fluorescent lights, where two women in black clothes face each other closely, one in black with an orange-red bun and one in black with a red bindi and dupatta, clasping hands as if in a game. Around them a crowd watches and cheers: a woman in a white salwar kameez at left, a woman in orange robes, a woman in a blue sari, a woman in a white dress with a red shawl, and several others in white and black. Some are barefoot on the sandy ground, and a chain-link fence and a parked vehicle sit in the background.
