Outdoors at a festival setting beside corrugated-roof stalls and strings of green and yellow pennant flags. Three drummers wear tiger-striped sleeveless tunics with black and orange sashes, cream turbans, tilak markings, and beaded necklaces and bracelets. The two foreground men hold small cups or vessels and smile, while the central drummer faces away, his cream turban trailing down his back. Each stands behind a large drum draped with pink and yellow fabric trimmed in blue.
