Outdoor photograph of a group of young boys and girls in orange and maroon ceremonial robes on white-and-red striped stone steps beneath a corrugated metal canopy. Several boys play long curved brass horns and drums, while others wear white tilak marks on their foreheads, rudraksha malas and red sashes. A woman in a golden-brown sari stands in the middle of the steps among them. The group appears to be moving or processing up the steps against a hazy sky and green trees.
