A stage performance by children in costume in front of a backdrop bearing a circular portrait of a smiling man in an orange-saffron turban and robe, with the year 2010 printed at upper right and a yellow-and-red flag hanging above a ring of marigold and green garlands. About a dozen children stand in a row on a green stage, dressed in regional costumes: one in green with a fan-like prop, one in orange with a bold patterned top, one in dark dress with a white shawl, others in white dhoti-style outfits, orange robes and a child holding a book. Some hold instruments such as a stringed instrument and a drum-like item. Audience members, including several adults and children, sit in the foreground. Balloons and a silhouette of a temple tower decorate the backdrop.
