A photograph of a procession on a dirt ground outdoors. Four musicians walk forward together: a man in a white shirt and white dhoti beats a red-and-gold drum slung at his side, a woman in a yellow-and-purple sari plays a long brass horn, another man in white dhoti and shirt plays a brass horn, and a fourth man in white dhoti beats a large drum. Behind them, several people in white dhotis and white shirts walk along, and a red-roofed building and metal frames stand at the right under bright daylight.
