A night photograph of a procession walking along a dark road, lit by a bright light at the far end. Several men carry large barrel-shaped drums slung over their shoulders, including a man in a white shirt and white dhoti at right, a man in a blue checked shirt and white dhoti at centre, and a man in a dark outfit with a red-orange cloth at left. Others walk in the background. The scene suggests a drumming procession, possibly a ritual or devotional march.
