The dancer at left wears a white and red costume with flowers in her hair and arms extended, while others wear magenta, pink and purple saris with gold borders and jasmine flowers in their hair. Their arms are outstretched in a classical dance pose. Behind them a backdrop shows a black temple silhouette on an orange gradient, with the title Dasara 2010 in purple script. An orange hanging lamp shade hangs from the ceiling. In the upper left corner, a circular inset shows a smiling man in an orange turban and orange robes. Seated audience members in the foreground watch from below.
