Three young drummers walk along a wide pale paved road at dawn, playing round white-faced drums with thin sticks. The drummer in the centre wears an orange dhoti, bare-chested, with a rudraksha-style necklace and a headband; the drummer on the right wears a blue dhoti and bare chest; the drummer on the left wears a patterned yellow-and-brown shirt with blue trousers. Behind them, figures in saffron and orange robes walk in a procession, and tall orange and yellow decorated poles or banners rise above the crowd. White-clad people stand at the left edge, a white vehicle and a yellow construction machine sit in the background, and trees frame the hazy sky.
