A stage performance in front of a deep blue curtain. A smiling woman in a green and magenta embroidered lehenga with a gold necklace, nose ring and earrings sits in a black chair with her bare feet extended. A man in a blue turban, saffron-and-gold brocade shawl and a pink and white flower garland sits on the floor before her, bare-chested, holding and touching her foot in a padapuja-style gesture. Behind them a person in white clothing gestures with raised arm, and a hand holding a microphone appears at the right edge. The scene appears to be a staged ritual skit at an ashram event.
