Two boys perform a playful dance on a polished white floor in front of a dark maroon velvet curtain, framed by a painted temple-style backdrop with pink, green and yellow pillars and carved figures. The boy on the left, bald and wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange kurta with matching orange trousers, lifts one bare leg while his arms are held behind him. The boy on the right wears a black polo shirt and black shorts, has a white tilak on his forehead, and smiles while stretching both arms overhead. A red patterned rug lies at the base of the curtain.
