A seated older man with short grey hair wears a rust-red kurta over white dhoti-style trousers and plays a tabla drum set on a stand, his head lowered in concentration. A partly visible man in a white shirt sits at the left edge, and another person in a blue shirt is blurred at the right. Oil lamps stand at the left edge of the frame in a hall with a wooden door behind. No printed name identifies the drummer and no clear appearance cues establish whether he is a person, so the identity remains uncertain.
