A hazy, brightly lit hall shows a large group of young people in saffron-orange garments dancing or moving energetically across a striped red-and-white mat. Many wear rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and orange cloth draped over the shoulder. Around the edges, adults and children in white dhotis, white kurtas and casual clothes watch, and a few stand near a gilded arched doorway. Painted decorative banners in red, blue and gold hang along a whitewashed wall on the right, and spotlights glow through the haze above.
