Outdoor festival scene at an ashram courtyard with a tall red metal frame holding a hanging pot suspended from a rope, as in a dahi handi style game. Several people in saffron and orange clothing, including a bare-chested man with a golden pot raised, stand near splashing water. Women in colourful saris and salwar kameez, and children in mixed clothing, watch and gather around large metal drums. Red-roofed ashram buildings and green trees stand behind the crowd.
