A photograph of a group of young men in matching orange-saffron robes performing a drum and wind-instrument ensemble indoors. Several play white-faced drums with wooden sticks, one blows a long brass horn, another plays a curved brass instrument, and the two on the right stand with hands pressed together in namaste. They wear rudraksha malas, orange turbans or bare heads, and some have bare chests with orange wraps and white marks on their arms. Behind them stand a wooden door, a white wall and a seated figure in white. This appears to be a ceremonial music performance by sannyasi-style devotees.

A photograph of a stage performance by a group of drummers and musicians in red and orange clothing on a red carpeted floor before a red backdrop. Several men play large drums, including a frame drum and barrel drums, with sticks and hand drums, while a man in a yellow-orange dhoti and shirt dances at the centre. Musicians wear orange shawls, headbands and red shirts, and a bald person in white with a rudraksha mala stands at left. An ornate carved golden throne-like seat and brass lamps stand behind them, with a carved stone figure at the upper left.

Photograph of young male disciples in saffron-orange dhoti-style wraps and orange shawls, sitting cross-legged on an orange mat and playing drums with pink sticks. Several have long dark hair, rudraksha malas and forehead markings. Behind them are large silver drums, and a woman in red stands in the background near a golden pillar. Tiled floor and wooden chairs are visible.

A procession of young men and women in saffron-orange robes and matching orange turbans walks down a bright hall with a polished floor. Several players carry round frame drums with white heads, while others play brass horns and cymbals. Rudraksha malas hang across their chests and white tilak marks show on their foreheads. A woman in a yellow-and-teal sari stands at the far left, holding a tray. Framed paintings hang on the pale pink walls and a wooden throne-like seat with a cushion sits at the right edge.

A group of young boys in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas sit on the floor playing traditional instruments in a hall with a red curtain and white walls. Several raise long curved brass horns overhead, while others beat wooden-framed drums with hand pressure and one plays a small cymbal, with white markings on their foreheads. Ritual brass lamps and a small brass bowl sit on a cloth in front of the drummers.

A photograph of a stage performance on a red carpeted platform under a white tent with a red backdrop. Several dancers in red and orange tunics with teal trousers perform energetically, one playing a large barrel drum while another dancer in a red tunic stretches an arm forward. Behind them an ornate golden throne with a golden parasol stands beside a trident, and several seated and standing people in red and orange clothing watch. A carved stone panel with figures decorates the right side. Other people, including a man in a light shirt at left, are visible at the edges. Counted physical people are roughly twelve, all in the scene.
