A seated audience fills a hall at a Dasara 2010 cultural event. On the stage, a man in an orange-brown kurta sits cross-legged at the centre, flanked by women in pink and red saris playing stringed instruments, with a musician at the left edge. A large backdrop shows a smiling portrait labelled Dasara 2010 beside a silhouette of temple spires against a sunset. A decorated hanging panel with yellow tassels hangs from the ceiling. In the foreground, many people in white clothes, some with yellow shawls, sit on mats, and a camera on a tripod is trained on the stage. The portrait on the backdrop is a printed image, not a physical person.
