Outdoor evening scene at a dusty open ground with a red pole frame and a rope hanging from its crossbar, from which a clay pot is suspended above the ground. A woman in a flowing lilac dress and a dancer in blue sway in motion as a splash of water arcs through the air beneath the pot. Nearby, a figure in a saffron-orange robe stands with another in orange garments, and a row of people in white and cream ritual clothes stands behind them. Spectators in light blue and white clothing sit and stand around the edge, with water tanks, a yellow signboard and palm trees visible in the background under a pale pink sky.
