A photograph of an indoor evening cultural performance inside a tented hall. A large raised stage covered in turquoise satin with a green top cloth holds musicians in white and orange clothing seated on orange cloth, playing drums, a harmonium and other instruments, with a singer at a microphone. Behind the stage a white drape carries the printed banner "Anandotsav 2010" and a row of framed portraits stands at the right. The audience sits cross-legged on orange mats: women in saris and salwar kameez in pink, blue, green and white, some with long braids, and several Western women in white and light clothing. Ceiling fans and white canopy fabric are overhead.
