A female dancer in a purple and gold traditional South Indian silk saree performs on a stage, smiling broadly with hands raised near her chest in an expressive gesture. She wears gold jhumka earrings, a gold nose ring, a red bindi, a hair ornament, layered gold necklaces, bangles and an ornate gold waist belt with hanging bells. A large gold-toned pillar stands at left and a green cloth backdrop with white dots sits behind her, with a potted plant at upper right. The attire and stage setting suggest a classical Bharatanatyam-style dance performance.
