A photograph of a group of women in saffron and rust-red robes seated on a red-draped stage before an ornate gold-leaf carved wall with lion and floral motifs. Several singers sit at individual microphone stands on wooden book rests, singing from sheets of paper. The woman on the left wears glasses, an orange sari and a long rudraksha mala; the woman in the center with a white vertical forehead mark sings with eyes closed; the woman on the right holds a red tambourine-style hand drum and wears a dark mala. Others play small hand cymbals or clap. This appears to be a devotional kirtan or chanting performance.
