Photo of a group of young boys playing traditional drums at a satsang-style gathering inside a hall. Several boys wear white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas; others wear orange saffron-coloured robes with gold trim. Foreground drummers strike large cylindrical drums with rope-laced red and brown shells, holding wooden sticks. One boy at right has white paste markings across his forehead with a red tilak and a rudraksha mala. Standing figures in orange robes stand behind the drummers, and a pillar and light-coloured wall fill the background.

Night photograph of four shirtless boys playing percussion and brass instruments beside a dark vehicle with a large truck body and colourful lights in the background. The boy at left wears white dhoti and teal cloth, holding a drum with pink sticks; the second wears a yellow dhoti and rudraksha mala, drumming; the third in orange cloth and rudraksha beads smiles while drumming; the boy at right plays a long brass horn. A few adults in white stand at the edge of the frame.

Three young boys play drums while walking along a pale stone pathway in the morning haze. The boy on the left is bare-chested, wearing a mustard-yellow dhoti and a red-brown rudraksha-style mala necklace, and holds a pink drumstick in each hand. The middle boy wears a blue kurta with cream trousers and a red-orange cloth at the waist, striking a white drum with a pink stick. The boy on the right wears a brown embroidered jacket and a red sash, playing a drum with a pink stick. Behind them, a bare-chested child in an orange dhoti and other drummers and attendants in orange and saffron clothing move along the road, with a white canopy and trees in the background.

A row of drummers performs outdoors at night beneath hanging decorations and lights. Six young men and boys play round frame drums with pink sticks. Most wear orange dhoti-style cloths with gold borders, bare chests, rudraksha malas and white ash markings on their faces and torsos. One drummer in the centre wears a white dhoti with a gold border. Behind them, another person in white and orange clothing stands near a pillar, with greenery and red and orange festive banners in the background.

Night photograph of a drumming group in orange and saffron dhotis with gold borders performing on a paved stone courtyard. Several men play large drums: a red-and-gold barrel drum held by the left and right performers, a green drum held by a man in the back, and a small round frame drum held by the central dancer, who wears rudraksha malas. A white-clad drummer on the right, with a white headband and white dhoti, plays a red drum. A bright flashlight or floodlight from the upper centre lights the scene against dark foliage.

Night photograph of a drumming procession by a dark background. Young men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls with gold borders play frame drums and hand drums, with white sacred markings on their foreheads and rudraksha malas around their necks. Some wear white cloths and one holds a long brass horn. Several drummers strike large drum heads with both hands, and the performers move in a row.
