Six young performers in saffron-orange robes stand on red stone steps, raising long brass horns (ahalam-style trumpets) to their lips and overhead. Several wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. Two drummers sit at the edges with large drums, one at the left and one at the right. Strings of orange and red marigold garlands hang across the background, with a chain-link fence and red-and-white draped cloth behind. The scene resembles a temple or ashram procession musical ensemble.
