A photograph of a devotional music performance in a hall with a green floor covering. A man in a white kurta with a red sleeveless vest sits cross-legged at a microphone, gesturing with one raised hand while a woman in a yellow sari with a red border sings beside him. Behind them, a musician in a brown jacket sits near a harmonium, another in a light yellow kurta rests his chin on a hand, and a man in an orange kurta plays a pair of tabla drums on the right. A musician in white at the left edge plays a small string instrument, possibly a tanpura, in the foreground. Framed portraits line the back wall beneath orange and red hanging decorations, and seated listeners fill the background.

A stage performance of Carnatic-style music in front of an orange and yellow backdrop with a silhouette of a dancing figure. On the left, a man in a red patterned kurta plays a large drum (mridangam) on the floor. In the centre, a man in a brown kurta and white dhoti sings into a microphone. Beside him, a woman in a gold and red sari sings with a microphone, and at right, a man in a maroon kurta and white dhoti plays a stringed instrument. All four perform seated on a green stage with microphone stands. No a person candidate is visible among the performers.

Musicians perform on a stage draped in deep red fabric, with a silver-tiered stand and brass pots in the foreground. A seated man in a pink kurta on the right plays a large purple-and-gold barrel drum. Beside him, a younger man in a purple shirt and a man in white with an orange-and-white sash play before microphones, and two women in the background, one in green, sit with instruments. A small figurine dressed in orange with a turban and gold-beaded necklace stands on the left of the stage, a depiction of a sannyasi rather than a living person. A wall air conditioner and a red curtain fill the backdrop.

Four musicians perform seated on a green mat in a hall with orange and multicolored tassel hangings behind them. Two front singers in coral-pink silk kurtas and white dhotis sing into microphones; the right singer gestures with one hand while a red-and-white upright instrument stands between them. On the left, a man in a white shirt plays a tabla-like drum, and a long-necked stringed instrument (tanpura or veena) rises behind. Audience members are seen softly in the background. No deity murti or ritual objects are prominent.
