A performer dressed as Krishna plays a wooden bamboo flute, smiling with eyes lowered. He wears a yellow turban decorated with peacock-feather motifs and a jewelled brooch, a yellow shawl draped over his shoulders with red-bordered trim, and layered red and yellow marigold garlands with pearl strands. Pearl bangles adorn his wrist, and behind him stands a backdrop of yellow marigolds, red flowers, green leaves and yellow fruits. A small red tilak marks his forehead. The scene reads as a Krishna Janmashtami celebration, with the flute and peacock feathers as Krishna iconography.
