Near the centre a figure in orange-saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and a sandalwood-marked forehead sits at a microphone; the figure's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is a priest or devotee singing. Around them women and men in white dhotis and orange-red shawls sing into microphones, while in the foreground men in white with orange shawls and forehead markings sit on the floor. Gold-yellow curtains and potted palms frame the stage.2014-12-28A photograph of a musical performance on a raised stage under a canopy at a night event.
