Hindu Celebration In Malaysia (Chitra Pournami) #16 – The Pulsating Beat Of The Street Musicians.

As it was getting late, I left the temple through the road which I came. Both sides were lined with stalls leaving only a narrow road through which a truck could just make its way through. It was thronged with people. I came face to face with the street musicians that accompanied a possession. Their pulsating beats echoed through the street. The long narrow Indian drums are hit by long narrow sticks instead of hands resulting in a harsher sound. You can see a large float just behind the musicians.
