Priceless find.
Look at the position of the tamburas.
One tambura faces the main artist. One faces the mridanga vidwan.

The way I look at it:
Photo inverted. Photoshopped. Now reveals a Mysore Palace durbar scene. Note the man holding the sceptre. The king is making his entry (not seen yet).

Yes, second picture has the correct presentation of the photo. All instruments held and handled properly!

Kartik,
Thanks for the post!

Trying to locate your source for the picture, I googled Heritage objects of Mysore and found a Facebook link - a treasure trove of pictures of Mysore from late 1800 and early 1900s.
