Four male performers in matching red kurta-style tunics and yellow dhoti-style trousers perform a folk percussion dance on a dirt ground in front of a bamboo grove and red wall. Each plays small hand cymbals or a handheld cymbal pair with flashing motion, while the man at right holds a round frame drum. Their bare feet and metal anklets emphasise the rhythmic stepping. The dancers are caught mid-movement, arms extended. Bamboo fronds fill the background.
