Outdoor festival stage under a corrugated metal and cloth canopy at a Salem event. On the left, drummers in yellow shirts and red dhotis play drums on a raised platform, one striking a large barrel drum on a tripod. Behind them hangs a large backdrop portrait of a robed figure with a shaved head, labelled with a partially visible name. Strings of green leaves and marigold-like decorations hang from the canopy, and a tall painted wooden pole with floral and geometric motifs stands in the centre. A man in a yellow top with a white garland is seen from behind at right, watching the stage.
