A metal gantry holds a hanging clay pot on a rope, and a long rope runs diagonally from it to the right, pulled by a line of people in white and light clothing. A bare-headed figure in a dripping white wrap and a pink-edged cloth, appearing soaked, is mid-air or leaping beneath the pot, while women in saris and a man in orange and red robes stand nearby, some holding blue barrels and tossing water.
