Outdoor cultural performance on a red-surfaced ground with white marked lines, beside a teal fence and construction equipment. A group of drummers and dancers in matching costumes of pink, yellow, orange and green stand on a patterned mat. Several hold frame drums, and a few play large drums on the right. A dancer on the right wears an orange and red outfit with a tall headdress and carries a white baton. Behind them a large grey sculpted figure of an elephant-headed deity stands on a rock base, and a decorated orange-and-marigold canopy hangs at the left edge. No seated a person figure is clearly visible, so no identity is asserted.
