Two large barrel drums with woven rope tension lacing sit in front; one player beats a drum with bare hands. Several players blow long brass horns (ceremonial trumpets) raised high, and one player holds a small cymbal-like hand drum. Rudraksha-style beaded necklaces are visible. Behind them is a red curtain and white doors, with brass lamps and vessels on the floor at the lower left.2013-09-23July 20 20132013-07-20August 04 20172017-08-04A photograph of a group of boys performing on a stage with a red carpet and red curtain at left.
