Outdoor photograph of a drumming procession during a festival. Several young men in royal-blue collared shirts with ID lanyards play large drums and metal hand drums; one drummer in front holds a drumstick. Behind them, men in white dhotis and shirts raise their arms and cheer, and an orange saffron flag with tassels hangs at the upper right. A man in white clothing with a maroon-bordered shawl stands at the left edge. Simple concrete-block buildings and a dirt ground form the backdrop. The scene reflects the youth drumming and dancing accompanying a temple procession.
