A group of young male drummers in saffron-orange robes perform on a red mat on a white tiled floor. The seated drummer in front wears a white dhoti, a multi-strand rudraksha-style mala and a gold necklace, and has white tilak marks on his forehead while he plays a small drum. Beside him a drummer in orange plays a large patterned drum with a tiger-striped skin, and another drummer behind plays a large metal drum. Other musicians in orange, with wooden-bead malas, sit or stand in the background near a wooden door. Drumsticks, a small white-rimmed drum and cloth bundles are on the floor.
