Six men in white dhotis and shirts stand against an orange wall with a red and white painted base, playing temple music. Two men on the left hold long brass-tipped wind instruments, one man in a yellow checked shirt plays a small drum with a dark blue cloth, and a man in a white shirt with a green shawl beats a large teal-wrapped drum. An older man with glasses and a white shawl stands among them, and at right a man presses his palms together in prayer. The musicians appear to be performing at a temple setting during an event.

A group of musicians performs on a covered temple-style veranda beside an orange wall with red and white painted bands and white steps. Six men in white dhotis and shirts play instruments: on the left, two play nadaswaram-type woodwind horns, and beside them a man plays a brass horn. In the centre, a man in a white dhoti with a pale green shawl beats a large double-headed drum with a green cover, while another man with a light blue shawl plays a smaller drum at the far right. A man in white at the edge also holds a drum with orange and red cloth. The wet floor suggests recent rain.

A photograph of a traditional Indian musical procession in a covered corridor of a white building. Men in white dhotis and shirts play instruments: the central player blows a long brass nadaswaram-style horn with an orange-yellow sash and rudraksha-style neck tassels, another man beside him plays a similar horn, and two men on the left and right carry double-headed drums (thavil) slung over their shoulders, one with a woven orange strap and one with a green-and-gold rim. Several other men in white stand in the background. A small orange and white garland decoration hangs over a red-framed doorway, and potted palms and a blue plastic chair sit near the entrance.

A photograph of three men walking on a paved path beside a red-and-gold metal fence and a red brick wall. The man on the left plays a long wind instrument with a flared bell, wearing a white shirt, white dhoti with green border, and a shoulder bag. The middle man beats a barrel drum wrapped with a striped cloth, wearing a white shirt and white dhoti with a green-and-gold border. The man on the right carries a second drum slung over his shoulder, wearing a white shirt and white dhoti with a pink border. Behind them, other figures in white and saffron-coloured clothing follow in a procession. Bare feet, green trees and a dirt lot appear in the background.

A group of drummers performs outdoors on a paved courtyard in front of red multi-storey buildings with air conditioners and trees. Several men play large round drums with leather heads and yellow lacing, one wearing an orange dhoti and sandals. Others wear white dhotis and bare chests with sacred threads, and one player has a red tilak on his forehead. Behind them a man in a white shirt and white dhoti plays a long wind instrument, while another in red plays a horn. Bystanders stand in the background.
