A photograph of a cultural performance hall during Dasara 2010. On the stage, several women in pink, red and salmon saris sit playing traditional instruments, and a silhouetted dancer stands behind them against a sunset backdrop. A large orange banner behind the stage shows a circular portrait of a smiling man in orange robes and a saffron turban, a silhouette of a temple tower, and the word Dasara 2010. Colourful striped decorative hangings hang from the ceiling. In the foreground, rows of seated audience members are seen from behind, many in white and pastel shirts.
