Outdoor temple procession with a group of young male drummers wearing saffron-orange dhotis and bare upper bodies, many wearing rudraksha malas and white ceremonial necklaces. They play large hand drums, some held horizontally on shoulder straps, while bystanders watch from the left and a woman in pink and a woman in white hold up phones. Behind them are a red-and-gold temple structure with hanging festival decorations, a concrete wall and palm trees under a bright sky. The scene matches a drum procession at a festival, with no visible a person candidate.
