A procession of drummers and wind players moves across a paved courtyard in front of a large hall with red steel beams and an ornate golden arched gateway. Young musicians in saffron-orange dhotis and sashes beat large barrel drums, while men in white dhotis play a long wind instrument and a hand drum. Behind them, devotees in white and pastel clothing stand on both sides, some with palms joined, and scattered flower petals lie on the ground. Hanging decorations and garlands frame the entrance, with a red bag carried at the right edge.
