Night outdoor scene on a grassy field lit by a bright spotlight. Many people in orange and saffron robes stand in a loose group, several bending forward and gripping long ropes stretched across the ground, apparently in a tug-of-war style activity. A tall figure in a white dhoti with long dark hair stands at the left edge facing the group. Others wear yellow, white and green clothing. A red-roofed building with lit windows sits in the background, and a blue hose lies across the foreground. A white cloth lies on the grass to the right.
