Young musicians in orange robes with pink borders perform on red stone steps beside potted plants and a chain-link fence strung with red flower garlands. A foreground musician blows a long brass horn raised overhead, while others play a similar horn, a drum and a blue tambourine; several have white tilak marks, rudraksha malas and bare heads. Behind them a drummer in orange strikes a drum. The scene suggests a ceremonial band performing outdoors.2013-07-29A photograph of a group of young boys seated on the floor playing traditional instruments.
