A stage performance at a Dasara 2010 event. Six women in pink, red and gold saris sit cross-legged in a row on a green-carpeted stage, each playing a stringed instrument resembling a veena or tanpura. In the foreground on the left, a figure in an orange-brown top sits with their back to the camera. Behind them hangs a large orange and gold backdrop with a circular portrait of a smiling man wearing an orange turban and orange robe, beside purple lettering reading Dasara 2010, and a dark silhouette of a temple tower on the right. White-draped tables and seated audience members in the lower foreground, some wearing head coverings, complete the scene.
