A group of young men in saffron-orange robes with white and yellow forehead markings sit on red stone steps at dusk, playing ceremonial instruments. Two drummers in the foreground strike large barrel drums with sticks, while others play curved brass horns and cymbal-like instruments. One young person in white dhoti and white top with a garland-like necklace plays a small instrument at the left. Several wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. The scene resembles a temple band or procession ensemble on riverside steps.2014-09-15July 28 20142014-07-28October 31 20162016-10-31 +1 copiesSeptember 15 20142014-09-15September 13 20142014-09-13Several young male devotees in saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged on a floor during a devotional music session.
