Outdoor festival procession with drummers in the foreground. Several men wear black lower garments with gold-patterned sleeveless tunics, black arm bands and red fringed sashes, some with white ash-like markings on their shoulders, beating large drums with sticks. Behind them a crowd of people in white clothes and colourful saris and salwars watches. Several decorated parasols with blue, red and pink panels and tassels are raised above the crowd, and a water tank stands on a rooftop in the background.
