A photograph of a staged scene in a dimly lit hall. In the foreground a figure seen from behind, with long dark hair pinned up with red flowers and a decorative ornament, wears a red blouse with bangles and a leopard-print wrap over a dark red skirt. The figure holds a tall silver staff and stands before a large painted backdrop of a blue-grey deity murti with many arms, a tiger-skin and a serpent, flanked by painted lions. Brass figures of a bull and elephants sit on the striped rug, potted plants frame the stage, and a draped tree trunk stands at left.
