A close photograph of a man's hands playing a round drum with a cream-coloured stretched skin face and a dark wooden body banded with metal rings, held against a red-maroon garment and a white dhoti. Fingers wear brass or bone finger caps while striking the drumhead, on sandy ground in an outdoor setting. Another person's white-clad legs appear at the upper left edge. The drum appears to be a percussion instrument used in a ritual or procession context.2010-12-22December 18 20162016-12-18November 29 20162016-11-29 +1 copiesDecember 18 20162016-12-18A photograph of a street-style procession on a dusty ground with banana plants and orange flags in the background.
