A stage performance with a dark backdrop and a draped pale-gold platform. Seven costumed performers stand and sit on a red-carpeted stage. In the front, a figure in an orange saffron robe and orange head wrap sits cross-legged on the left. Beside him, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti and white shoulder cloth sits with a rudraksha mala. On the right, a woman in a white head covering sits. Behind them, a performer in green and gold with a flute and garland plays the Krishna role, a woman in a red sari stands on the left, and on a blue-draped raised platform on the right, a figure with a trident and a woman in maroon and gold stand in ornate costume. Shaded, theatrical styling suggests a mythological drama.

A cultural programme staged on a stage with dark maroon curtains and string lights along the edge. A standing performer in a royal costume with a gold crown, a purple and gold garment, and a garland of white and green flowers raises one hand in greeting. Beside him, a performer in a gold headdress and bright gold jewellery sits and laughs. Seated performers in white dhotis and gold-bordered shawls, some with sacred ash on their foreheads, watch and clap. A standing man in white dhoti and shirt with a tilak on his forehead smiles and steadies the performer's arm. Two seated women in white saris with gold borders and a seated man in a saffron-bordered shawl are in the lower foreground.
