Three young performers in white kurta-style clothes and red-and-white lower garments lean forward with yellow and blue sticks, apparently in a stick-dance routine. Another performer in a pink garment is partly visible at right. Seated audience members in white and yellow fill the left foreground. Behind the stage, a large orange backdrop shows a painted portrait of a smiling figure wearing an orange turban, with a decorated altar of lamps and floral arrangements. Colorful striped pillars hang at the sides. A printed banner reads Dasara.
