A photograph of an indoor Dasara 2010 evening programme. On the stage, four musicians perform before a large orange backdrop printed with the words "Dasara 2010", a circular portrait of a smiling figure in an orange head wrap, and dark temple silhouettes. A seated man in orange kurta plays a tabla-style drum, a man in a brown kurta sings into a microphone, a woman in an orange sari plays a hand instrument, and a man in a maroon shirt plays a string instrument. Below the stage a mixed audience sits on mats: many people in white clothes, a woman in a red blouse, and a man in a green top. A bald man in white dhoti and yellow shawl stands at the left edge. The circular portrait is printed and not a physical person, and no candidate is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance.
