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.

July 21 20102010-07-21A 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.2010-07-21July 21 20102010-07-21July 21 20102010-07-21October 20 20162016-10-20A photograph of a traditional Indian musical procession in a covered corridor of a white building.
