A photograph of a stage performance inside a hall with dark red curtains. A young standing figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange head wrap holds a long staff and smiles. Seated in front of the stage, men in orange and brown silk kurtas play large two-headed drums, and a player in orange holds a wind instrument. On the right stage, several musicians in white kurtas with red shawls sit behind a white-draped table. Colored cloths and red floor pieces are visible at the left edge. No a person-appearance cues are sufficiently distinctive to identify anyone, so the standing performer is described by role only.
