A photograph of a stage performance at an indoor hall. A large orange backdrop shows a circular portrait of a smiling man wearing an orange turban and orange robes, with the word Dhasara 2010 in purple lettering beside him and a silhouette of temple spires on the right. On the green-edged stage, several women in red and pink saris play stringed instruments, and a person in a dark orange robe sits at the left edge. In front, a seated audience sits on cushioned mats along a white-draped platform, many women wearing white saris and some in maroon or orange, with a few men visible at the bottom edge. The portrait on the backdrop is a printed image, not a physical person, and a probable Swamiji candidate appears there in orange turban and robes.
