Outdoor procession on a paved courtyard with a red brick wall behind. Several drummers in yellow turbans and leopard-print sleeveless tunics with red fringed sashes and white armbands march forward playing drums draped with colourful floral cloth. The foremost drummer wears a white tilak on his forehead and a large shell or bead necklace. Behind them, a crowd of people in white ritual clothing and many pink, blue and multicoloured parasols or umbrellas move along, with trees and a blue sky above. The scene suggests a festival procession.
