A cultural performance on a red stage under a white tent with hanging paper decorations. Two women dance in the foreground: one in a royal blue sari with an orange border and a red flower in her hair, the other in a hot pink sari with gold border and ankle bells, each balancing a decorated pot with colourful ribbon and paper ornaments on her head. Behind them, a man in an orange-brown dhoti and shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion and a gold umbrella overhead, flanked by a lion figure. Seated devotees in red and orange garments and white saris sit along the stage edge, and standing performers in green and pink costumes stand behind, with a crowd and speakers visible beyond the stage.

On the left, a man in an orange turban, orange garment and gold chain sits on a gilded throne with a gold lion-form armrest and a golden staff, smiling toward the stage. Appearance is ambiguous and the page says no Swamiji at this event, so the role is recorded as a seated figure on a throne. Beside him, several seated devotees in white and green sit on red carpet. Behind them, a large relief panel depicts a multi-armed goddess seated on a lotus, flanked by ornate pink-and-gold arched gateways. On the right, two dancers in pink and blue saris balance decorated pots on their heads while performing on the red stage, with drummers and cameramen in orange and white behind.2016-05-01A photo from a cultural performance inside a decorated tent with red carpet.
