Beside him, a young drummer in orange and a bare-chested man in white dhoti with gold border play frame drums. A bare-chested boy with rudraksha malas drums in the centre, and dancers in orange and red saris surround them. Red and gold umbrellas and ceremonial parasols rise in the background under a floodlight, with a crowd of onlookers at the edges.
