Two female dancers perform a classical Indian dance on a red-carpeted stage in front of an ornate golden throne decorated with a heart-shaped arrangement of yellow, red and white flower garlands. The dancer on the left wears a mustard-orange sari with a pink border and a red shawl, with a white flower in her hair and gold necklaces, her arms extended to the side. The dancer on the right wears a grey sari with a red border and red shawl, gold jewellery and bangles, one hand raised in a mudra. Gold lion figures flank the throne, with a brass lamp stand and maroon velvet drapes behind. A small pictured portrait of a figure in pink appears on the throne backdrop, and the Nithyanandapedia copyright overlay is visible at the lower right.
