A group of young boys seated on a floor mat play traditional instruments during a ritual performance. Several have shaved heads, white tilak markings on their foreheads, and wear saffron-orange cloth with red-brown rudraksha malas around their necks. Two large barrel drums with taut hide heads are played in the foreground, and a boy in the back raises a long brass horn. Others hold conch shells and small cymbals. A red curtain hangs at left and a white-framed glass door is behind them, with a white tiled floor below.
