Outdoor photo looking up at a crossed pair of wooden poles and ropes from which several painted terracotta pots hang, each wrapped in white cloth and decorated with blue, green, red and yellow painted shapes. Pale overcast sky and a palm frond at the lower left edge. No people are visible. The pots resemble the hanging clay pots used in Holi-season celebrations, though the scene itself shows only the suspended pots.
