A street procession of men and boys walks along a paved village road under bright sunlight, with palm trees and low concrete buildings behind them. Several bare-chested drummers in orange and white dhotis play large barrel drums, including a dark-red drum and a wooden-framed drum, while others clash small hand cymbals. Some wear rudraksha malas and red-and-white beaded necklaces. Behind them, men in white dhotis and shirts follow, and saffron-orange triangular flags on poles are held aloft above the crowd. A banner with a striped blue-and-white design hangs in the background.
