4 x 5" Black and white negative of musicians and dancers. Hoefler's original description: "Bhopal State, Central India. This young lady was considered very good and won first place in the dance marathon by popular applause. The masked dancer who opposed her was really very much better, but when it turned out that it was a man, great excitement and laughter ensued, followed by the awarding of the first prize to this smiling artist from the village of Kheri. The young man with the long drum was without doubt the star performer of the entire show, his drumming and dancing being really exceptional.
