A photograph of a Dasara 2010 cultural performance on a stage with an orange backdrop. A large banner reads "Dhasara 2010" beside a circular portrait of a smiling man with a saffron turban and saffron robe, labelled as a banner portrait. Silhouettes of dancers and temple towers decorate the backdrop. On a green-covered stage, a seated male drummer in white plays a mridangam-style drum, while two women in saris sit with tanpuras and a woman in a pink sari sings into a microphone, with a woman in a rust-coloured top beside her. Women in white saris sit on the floor in the audience in front, and a monitor in the lower right shows a temple-related screen image.
