Children are decorating a terracotta-tiled outdoor terrace with coloured powder rangoli designs. Several children crouch or stand on the floor, sprinkling pink, red, yellow and blue powder inside white outlined patterns, including a large petal-like motif and a circular mandala. Among them, a boy in a grey tracksuit and a boy in a navy cap and striped hoodie work, while a boy in white clothes and a girl in a pink top and red leggings bend over the floor. A blurred table with metal trays stands at the left, and hills with dense trees fill the misty background. No adult clearly leading the scene is visible.
