A stage performance of Bharatanatyam dance in front of a golden, ornately carved throne with red cushions. Two dancers in matching orange silk costumes with green and gold borders perform. The standing dancer, in front, raises one hand to her forehead and extends the other arm outward; the kneeling dancer, at right, reaches out with both hands. Both wear gold jewellery, bangles and anklets; the kneeling dancer has a flower garland and a feathered headpiece. Red stage floor and dark red curtains form the backdrop. On the throne at left, a printed portrait shows a seated figure in red robes, a red turban and a beaded mala, looking from a framed image on the throne's side panel.
