Several musicians sit on an orange-and-purple mat at left: one in a white kurta plays a tabla-like drum, another in a red vest sings or plays, and a younger man in an orange shirt plays a drum at centre stage. Behind them a seated audience of many people in white clothing fills the floor. Two large screens hang from the ceiling, and a row of framed portraits lines the back wall. Colourful hanging tassel decorations and a red banner reading Shiva and 2010 are visible at left.
