Outdoor photograph of a large tiered red-stepped amphitheatre at dusk with warm low sunlight. Many people in white clothing sit on the steps playing large barrel drums and drums with orange-red coverings, while others in white and orange sit among them. Near the right side a framed portrait sits on a small stand beside an empty row of ornate silver-framed red cushioned seats on a red-carpeted step. A metal railing and tall poles fence the stepped area, with palm trees and a tent roof behind.

A photograph of a crowd gathered on red stone ghat steps beside a river, many people in white ritual clothes with hands pressed together in prayer. In the foreground, drummers in white dhotis play large barrel drums, one wearing a teal shirt. A woman in an orange-and-gold sari kneels at left, and a woman in white sari stands near centre. Bamboo poles line the steps, with garlands and brass vessels visible along the stairs. Men in white with yellow shawls stand on the steps at right, and a man in a white shirt at top right gestures toward the water. No figure clearly matches the a person appearance cues.

Evening scene on red sandstone steps with a crowd seated above. In the foreground, a shaven-headed man in white dhoti with gold border photographs with a small camera while a laptop sits beside him. A man in a dark green shirt and white dhoti stands holding a large frame drum with a strap. Two men sit lower down playing drums: one in a checked white shirt, another in white shirt and maroon lungi tapping a small drum. At right, a small wooden side table with a flower arrangement and water bottle beside a zebra-print cushioned seat, and an orange cloth draped on the step. Several seated devotees in white and saffron-coloured clothing watch from the upper steps.

A photograph of a group of drummers and musicians seated on red-painted temple steps at an outdoor ceremony. Many performers wear saffron-orange cloth with white dhotis and rudraksha beads. Several play large white-faced drums, and others play small hand drums, cymbals and a brass trumpet. Dark stone lamp stands and brass vessels sit on the steps behind them. A few young performers wear orange saris or pink blouses. No clearly identifiable a person candidate is visible among the musicians.

Large outdoor ritual on red stone ghat steps beside water. Many people in white dhotis and white garments sit in rows on the steps, with others in saffron-orange clothing.

A man in white at upper centre sits near the canopy. A drum rests on the steps at left. Several people in front hold items and perform ritual actions. A hillside of greenery and red flags appears at the top. Crowd is large but partly visible.

Outdoor photograph of musicians seated on red steps at a temple or ghat setting. In the foreground, a young man in a white shirt and white dhoti plays a long brass horn called a nagaswaram-style wind instrument with a bell, while beside him another young man in white with a red-and-gold bordered cloth plays a barrel-shaped red and gold drum called a mridangam or thavil, held across his lap. Behind them, several seated people in white dhotis and cream shawls with gold borders watch, along with a bare-chested man with his hands pressed together in prayer and a man in orange robes on the left. A red railing and blue container appear in the background.
