A photograph of an indoor satsang hall during the Dasara 2010 evening session. On a raised green-draped stage, a musical group performs: a woman in a red and gold sari sings into a microphone, a man in a white shirt plays a harmonium, and others play percussion and a tanpura-style instrument in red. A banner behind them reads Dasara 2010 with silhouetted temple architecture. In the foreground, a man in saffron robes sits cross-legged facing the stage, while many devotees in white kurtas and yellow shawls sit on the floor. A standing man in white with a yellow shawl stands near a small monitor showing a deity image on a white pedestal. A cameraman operates a video camera on a tripod at left.
