Four men stand on a stone-paved path in front of a golden-yellow temple gateway with carved tiers, figures and a palm-lined compound. The central man wears a yellow dhoti, an orange shawl and a flower garland, and balances a decorated pot on his head while holding a stringed instrument. Two men flank him: one in white with a pink and white cloth playing a drum, and another in an orange shawl and white clothes with a drum. A fourth man in white dhoti and shawl stands at right with palms pressed together. The setting appears sunny, with a red-painted wall at right.
