Several musicians sit on the stage in white and orange attire, playing instruments including tabla-style drums and a harmonium. Behind them hangs a large red banner showing a smiling man in an orange turban and the words 'Anandotsava' and '2010', with 'Anandeswara Devalaya Brahmotsava' beneath. Around fifty audience members sit cross-legged on orange mats, many dressed in white, with some in saffron or colourful saris. Hanging flags decorate the right wall beside a large dark screen.
