A photograph of a procession on a wide paved road at dawn or dusk, with hazy warm light. Several bare-chested young boys walk toward the camera playing large white-faced drums slung at their sides. Some wear orange or saffron dhotis and orange shawls, while one drummer wears a magenta lower cloth and another wears blue. Behind them, more people in orange robes walk along the road, and orange ceremonial umbrellas or flags appear in the distance beside a white van and a yellow roller vehicle. The scene conveys a drum procession through an open ashram-style road setting.
