A group of young boys in saffron-orange dhotis and matching orange turbans stand outdoors on a stone-paved courtyard at night, holding round frame drums with pink sticks. Several are bare-chested with rudraksha malas, sandalwood or vibhuti marks on their foreheads and white-painted arms. Lamps and trees are visible in the background. The group appears to be playing drums for a procession or ritual.
