Outdoor children's day celebration on a sandy courtyard in front of a white building with corrugated metal roofs. A tug-of-war is underway: a line of boys in mixed casual shirts and shorts pulls a long rope, with a white-clad adult official standing at the centre near the rope. Strings of multicoloured pennants and balloons stretch across the scene. On the covered veranda, seated devotees and children watch, and a figure in saffron/orange robes sits on a raised platform, with a cloth banner reading Nithyananda Gurukul on the wall. An orange flag flies on a pole at right. Blue plastic chairs line the veranda.
