Young women in traditional South Indian dress sit in a row before microphones in a temple-like hall with gold-toned carved panels behind them. Several wear white forehead markings and dark beaded necklaces; the woman on the right wears an orange silk saree and sings or chants, while the woman in the middle wears a purple and gold saree and another wears an orange saree. A brass oil lamp with a lit flame stands at the right edge. A purple logo appears at the upper left.2014-07-28August 09 20142014-08-09September 13 20142014-09-13August 12 20142014-08-12September 13 20142014-09-13Six young performers sit cross-legged on a red stage cloth in front of a gilded wall carved with lions, floral scrolls and figures, lit by small bulbs. Each singer or musician sits at a microphone stand. Women in saris and rudraksha malas sing, including one in an orange sari and one in a green and yellow sari, while men in dark embellished tops play a mridangam-style drum and a stringed instrument.

Seven young performers sit cross-legged on the floor behind microphone stands, in front of an ornate gold carved wall with figures, animal reliefs and small string lights. From left: a girl in a cream and maroon sari with a rudraksha-style bead necklace, a boy in a dark embroidered top, a girl in a green and yellow sari, a boy playing a orange drum-like instrument, a girl in an orange sari with gold jewellery and forehead ornament playing a harmonium-style instrument, a boy beside a wooden instrument, and a girl in a green and maroon sari with a sandalwood-marked forehead. Sheet music rests on a stand before them. The scene looks like a devotional music recital or satsang singing.2014-10-02
