"Young kids and girls also do the drum beating which was not what used to happen earlier."

Yes times have changed. Girls would not be seen in a social street side display, they were there only to look at it from the corners of the windows and doorways while a procession went by. Now there are girls practicing and beating their drums to herald the new way of the gender social structure.

So here is a take of an all girls drum beaters group weaving its way down the Tilak Road in Pune on the Ganesha Immersion Day in September 2010.
