Three men sit cross-legged on a bare tiled stage before a deep red velvet curtain and a patterned carpet. The man on the left wears a blue-and-white striped shirt, white dhoti and a white-and-orange shawl, and holds a round red drum with yellow circles. The man in the centre wears a light blue shirt, peach dhoti and peach shawl with his hands together. The man on the right wears a white shirt, gold-yellow dhoti and orange-and-gold shawl, and holds small metal cymbals. A hand holding a microphone appears at the left edge, and an orange cable runs across the floor.
