Outdoors on a sandy field, a group of young men in white kurtas and brown cloth-sack wraps hop forward in a sack race. One racer in the foreground raises a hand while others jump with their legs bound in tan sacks. Behind them, more people in white and saffron-coloured clothes watch and stand near a row of tables under an orange canopy, with trees, a multi-storey building and a wire fence along the edge of the field under a partly cloudy sky.
