Outdoor cultural performance on a red-surfaced ground in front of a green mesh screen and stacked stone blocks. Performers in red, orange and blue costumes with pink and white turbans bend forward and lean on a long cloth or rope line, while others in red and yellow stand behind and a drummer in white dhoti plays at left. Several performers are bare-chested with garlands. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance, so the scene is described through the performers' roles and costumes only.
