We believe that this photograph was taken on the opening night of Saarang. Shaan, the popular singer, headlined the show. In the photograph, we can see a part of the audience and several notice boards indicating what we think are ticket prices for the seats.  The performers in the image most likely performed alongside Shaan at the event. This can be ascertained through other photographs from the same event, showing Shaan performing with the same musicians.

This photograph was taken during Saarang. Plenty of music groups and bands performed at Saarang during contests, competitions and programmes.
