Six young male drummers play large silver-shelled drums on red sandstone steps beside a chain-link fence and trees. Several are bare-chested, wearing orange dhoti cloths, rudraksha malas and white-smeared foreheads; one wears a white dhoti. Some strike drums with pink-tipped sticks while others play hand drums. The setting resembles a riverside ghat. No specific ritual or event is visibly established beyond the drumming.
