Several men play large hand drums, each with a wooden stick, while walking together. The drummers wear saffron-orange cloths with gold borders and rudraksha malas, and some wear white cloths with gold borders; several have white tilak marks on their foreheads. A tall brass horn is raised at the left and dim lights and figures appear in the background.
