Outdoor festival scene on a dusty ground. A tug-of-war is underway, with people in white clothing pulling a rope; the foreground participants wear white shirts and white dhotis, one with a rudraksha-style bead mala. A row of women in white saris and men in white kurtas pull together while a man in white walks along the line. Behind them a whitewashed building has a painted red and orange arched shrine frame with a framed portrait of a woman with long dark hair, and a sign reading Sri Anandeshwara Devasthana. Orange and red tent canopy and bunting frame the left, and drummers in white stand at right.
