Outdoor festival scene under palm trees with thatched huts. Young boys in white kurta-style clothes perform jumping and stick-based movements on a red carpet mat, one leaping mid-air with feet off the ground. Behind them stand a few men in white shirts and white dhotis, and a woman in orange sari and an orange-robed figure with a shaved head at left. A row of seated spectators in white shirts sits at right, and a printed banner with a portrait is visible in the background beside colourful balloon columns and orange-and-red festival bunting hanging from a canopy.
