Several women hold cymbals and small hand drums, while others carry long brass horns and a metal trumpet-style instrument.

A photograph of a crowded festival procession at night with drummers in the foreground. Two young men in front play small hand drums; the one on the left wears a white dhoti with gold borders and a rudraksha mala, the centre drummer wears an orange saffron cloth with gold trim and a long rudraksha mala. Behind them, people in orange and white ritual clothes play large drums and horns, with vibhuti marks on their foreheads. Spectators fill the background. The scene suggests a temple procession, with an orange and red fabric canopy overhead.

In the foreground, drummers strike drums with sticks, and a young boy in a cream dhoti and rudraksha mala plays a wooden stick instrument. A blue and gold umbrella is held above the procession. In the background, a man in white dhoti and shawl, with a long rudraksha mala and gold chain, walks beside a glowing golden ratha or palanquin decorated with lights and a deity image. Red flags are visible at right.

A night procession on a paved street with a green gate and potted plants behind. Six youths in saffron-orange and cream dhotis play hand drums and cymbals.

The scene reads as devotional drumming during a temple-style procession.
