A photograph of a group of saffron-robed men standing on wide red-painted stone steps at dusk, several raising long curved brass horns to their lips. One man in the centre wears a gold necklace and a dark wrap, and a drummer in orange clothing beats a drum nearby. Strands of orange marigold garlands stretch along a metal railing above, with a tall ornamented pillar topped with a decorated cloth bundle at the right. Low woven mats and cushions sit at the front of the steps, and a small bottle rests on the stone. A person in white stands near the left edge.
