A group of young boys seated on the floor in front of a white metal door and red curtain play ceremonial instruments. Several boys hold long curved gold-coloured brass horns upright with both hands and blow into them, while others play two-headed hand drums and a small hand cymbal. The boys wear orange and red robes with yellow borders, white forehead markings, and wooden rudraksha-style bead necklaces. Some have bead bracelets and dark thread. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with a plain light wall.
