Outdoor street procession with drummers in orange dhotis and gold-bordered cloths. In the foreground a young bare-chested drummer with long dreadlocked hair, a white cord across his chest, plays a large white-faced drum held at his side with a stick. Behind him other drummers in orange garments play similar drums, and a crowd and a bystander stand along the roadside under trees. The scene reads as a temple or devotional procession with drumming.
