A group of young boys in saffron and red robes perform a ceremonial musical ensemble, seated on the floor in front of white sliding glass doors and red curtains. Many hold long, curved brass horns (ceremonial trumpets) raised overhead or to their lips, while others play barrel drums and a small cymbal-like instrument. Most wear rudraksha malas and have white tilak markings on their foreheads. Several are shirtless with gold armbands and bangles. A small purple logo appears in the upper left corner of the frame.
