A seated audience of devotees in white and yellow saris, orange and red shawls and some Western dress sits on mats before a stage at the Dhasara 2010 event. Performers on the green-carpeted stage include a drummer in a white shirt playing a red tabla-style drum, musicians in red kurtas, and a seated elder in white playing a long-necked stringed instrument. Behind them a large orange banner shows a smiling man with an orange turban and a circular portrait inset, along with dark silhouettes of a dancer and temple spires. The portrait is an inset image on the banner, not a physical person. The swamiji candidate is a printed portrait only, with an orange turban and an orange robe, so no in-person candidate is confirmed.
