Two young boys in red and orange saffron robes play long curved golden horns held high, blowing into them at night. Both wear white forehead markings with a red dot, and beaded necklaces. A chain-link fence and a blue sign are behind them, with a brick wall below and other shaven-headed people in the foreground.

A photograph of several young boys in orange-red robes playing long curved gold brass horns raised overhead, with white vertical tilak marks on their foreheads and rudraksha malas around their necks. A drummer's drum edge is visible at the lower left, and a white door with a metal frame stands behind them against a pale wall.

A young boy seated on a white tiled floor plays a long brass horn held to his mouth with both hands. He wears an orange saffron cloth wrapped over his shoulder and a necklace of rudraksha beads, with white sacred ash markings on his forehead and arms, and a wristwatch. Behind him, other seated boys in orange cloths sit beside a large drum with a patterned skin. The setting suggests a ritual musical performance.

Two young boys in maroon robes with gold trim sit side by side playing long curved gold horns, one raised high in each boy's hands, mouthpieces at their lips. Both have white vertical tilaka marks on the forehead and red dots at the centre, with white markings on their arms. The boy on the right wears a black beaded mala. A window with red frame and grille is at left, and a wall switch panel is above. Only two physical people are clearly visible, with a partial hand at the far left edge.

A young boy in a maroon robe with gold trim blows a long curved golden horn, raising it high toward the ceiling while looking upward. He has a white forehead band and small gold earring. Behind him hang orange and pink striped curtains on a wall beside a black metal pillar, with a small visitor-directions sign on the left. The scene suggests a temple or ashram announcement.

A young girl in an orange saffron wrap sits on a pale floor playing a long brass horn, a kahal-style wind instrument, with its bell pointing left. Her hair is oiled and tied back, she wears white tilak lines on her forehead and arm, beaded bracelets, a rudraksha-style necklace and a wristwatch. Behind her a large drum with a leopard-print cover and white drumhead is played by another child. Several other children in matching orange robes sit in the background, some with white facial markings, during a group ritual performance.

Close photo of a shaved-headed boy in saffron-orange robes wearing wire-rimmed glasses, a rudraksha mala around his neck and hoop earrings, with white vibhuti on his forehead. He raises a long brass horn-like instrument with one hand, its mouthpiece near his lips, while another saffron-robed boy stands behind him holding a similar instrument. A watch is on his raised wrist, and a terracotta pot with plants sits beside a chain-link fence.

Two child performers in orange saffron-coloured robes stand before dark maroon velvet drapes on a stage. The taller girl raises a long gold-coloured horn high overhead with one hand while blowing into it, wearing rudraksha beads around her neck, hoop earrings and a white vertical tilak on her forehead. In front of her a younger boy with a shaved head and a red bindi blows a large white conch shell, held in both hands. Drums are partly visible at the edges. Red and white tassels hang from the top left.
