A boy in the foreground, with white ash markings on his bare chest and arms, plays small brass cymbals beside a large drum with a white head. A smaller drum with pink sticks and brass bells lie on the mat. Other seated boys with long hair are partly visible, and a camera on a tripod and a golden shrine are in the background. A screen above shows a figure in orange, and a trident stands near a wooden stand.
