Indoor photo of a performance on a red floor mat. A young boy with a shaved head in an orange garment plays a large brown barrel drum (mridangam-style, strapped in leather) while looking toward a young girl in a green dress and dark skirt, who sits cross-legged with a rudraksha mala and wears gold bangles, holding small metal cymbals. Behind them a man in an orange-brown cloth and a shaved-headed figure in orange-brown cloth fiddle with cables near a wall power outlet; a laptop and yellow device sit on the floor.
