Two boys carrying a 'rabana' - a type of percussion instrument. The large 'Rabana' is usually played by it being placed horizontally on mounts. The players sit round it and beat a rhythm to accompany a 'padha' - an impromptu verse. Sometimes a small fire s lit under the 'rabana' to make the tone of the drum better.
