Five women in pink and magenta saris perform seated on a green stage floor, each playing a veena, a traditional South Indian stringed instrument with a long neck and round resonator gourd. They are shown in profile, facing right, with hair tied back and some wearing jewellery and flowers in their hair. A bright orange and yellow draped backdrop with a silhouetted decorative edge fills the background. Audio cables run across the floor in front of the musicians.
