A group of five people sits cross-legged on a red-draped stage before a gold-carved temple backdrop of ornate figures and animals, seated behind microphone stands and wooden book rests. They wear rust-red and orange robes with rudraksha malas and vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads. The second and third from left have glasses and one holds a small cymbal-like instrument, while the rightmost woman plays a harmonium-style instrument. Several seated listeners' shaved heads are visible in the lower foreground, indicating a kirtan or devotional singing performance.
