A photograph of a folk performer in a large red painted demon-style mask with bulging eyes, fangs, a tilak mark on the forehead, and a headdress crowned with orange marigold garlands, white jasmine and mirror-trimmed ornaments. The performer wears a sleeveless blue top, green and orange skirt, and draped red, pink and yellow cloths, standing barefoot on sandy ground. Behind them stand two older men: one in white dhoti and shirt, and another in a red turban with a red, green and orange shawl and yellow-red skirt, holding a long stick. A blue and white patterned tent backdrop with small orange flags is behind them, with banana leaves at the top right.
