A photograph of a Navaratri celebration hall with a stage draped in purple and blue fabric. Three musicians sit on the stage: a man in a white kurta plays a large dholak-style drum, a man in a yellow kurta sings or speaks into a microphone while gesturing, and a man in a pink kurta plays a stringed instrument beside him. A large audience of seated people, mostly in white clothes, with some women in yellow, orange and pink saris, fills the floor in front. Yellow and blue decorative banners hang from the upper stage, and a white ornate chair stands at the left. Stage lighting and metal scaffolding frame the scene.
