A group of young male devotees in saffron-orange robes sit on an orange mat performing music in a hall with a wooden door behind them. Several wear rudraksha malas, white forehead markings and long dreadlocked hair. One beats a silver drum with a stick, while two others play small metal drums with pink sticks in front. Brass poles stand at the right edge. Several bare-chested musicians smile, and one in the foreground wears layered beaded bracelets. A tall brass staff stands at right beside the seated group.

At the back, men in orange clothing play long curved brass horns and drums on red-draped mats. A man in white stands at the right edge.
