A procession walks along a dirt path cutting through a dry, ploughed field under a partly cloudy sky. In the foreground, several young drummers in red jackets and grey trousers carry large drums slung over their shoulders and play as they walk. Behind them, a long line of men in white dhotis and white shirts, some in light grey shirts, follows the drummers. Further back, decorated ceremonial umbrellas or standards with orange and red ornaments rise above the crowd. Palm trees, a utility pole and low buildings line the horizon.
