Night-time tug-of-war on a dusty open ground lit by floodlights. In the foreground, a team in matching yellow-orange clothes pulls a rope, with a bare-footed person in orange at the front leaning back hard. Opposite them, a line of people in dark and white clothing, including a girl in a dark top and a woman in white trousers, pulls the other end. Behind, a crowd of onlookers in orange, maroon, blue checked shirts and light clothing watches. No individual can be identified as a person from appearance here, so the a person field is unsure.
