Several young men in saffron-orange dhotis sit cross-legged on a red carpeted floor, bare-chested and wearing rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces, playing large drums with wooden sticks. The central drum has a silver metallic shell and a white drumhead. Behind them, seated devotees and a backdrop of red drapes with illuminated white-and-gold arch decorations suggest a ceremonial hall. The drummers' focused expressions and synchronized posture convey a group drumming performance during a program.
