A group of young people in saffron-orange dhoti-style garments with maroon-red borders dance barefoot across a pale marble floor in a hall. Several dancers raise their arms and hands in expressive poses, and some wear gold necklaces, bangles and earrings. Behind them, other people in white and orange clothing stand or move through the room, and red and yellow decorative hangings with tassels hang from the walls and ceiling. The setting suggests a devotional dance or celebration performed by children and youth.
