A seated musician plays a large brown wooden mridangam drum, its body wrapped in a brown patterned cloth with yellow straps, placed on a folded cloth on a paved floor. He wears a white short-sleeved shirt with a lanyard, white dhoti, and a red wrist thread, tapping the drum with a stick in his right hand. Beside him, a long wooden instrument with a red cloth lies on the ground, and a small tool rests at left. A red pillar frames the sunlit courtyard. No a person is visible.
