Each wears rudraksha malas and white and red forehead markings. Several play barrel-shaped drums slung from white straps, one drummer strikes a small hand cymbal, and the man at right stands with his hands folded near his mouth. Dry leaves lie on the ground and a stone pile sits behind the wall.2014-08-31A group of young boys in orange-saffron dhotis and matching orange turbans and shawls, many wearing rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, play brass instruments and drums inside a gilded temple hall.

Behind them ornate gold pillars, hanging orange and green tassels, a red-carpeted floor and a gold-decorated shrine area frame the scene.
