A stage performance at a Dhasara 2010 event. Five musicians sit on a green-draped stage before an orange backdrop with a circular portrait of a smiling man in orange robes and a silhouetted temple and dancer. A man in a red kurta sings into a microphone, with a red tanpura-like drone instrument and a seated man in white playing a stringed instrument. A seated man in white plays a dholak-style drum, and a man in white with a yellow scarf sits nearby. Audience members in white saris and shawls sit in the foreground. The portrait's man appears to be a printed image, not a person on the stage.
