A performer in a stage costume kneels in a deep squat on a green stage mat before a cream draped curtain. He is bare-chested, wearing a purple dhoti-style lower garment with gold borders, a pearl necklace, a gold armlet and bangles, and ankle bells with red tassels. His hands are raised in a dance gesture and he wears a red forehead mark. A dark blurred object sits in the lower left foreground. Appearance-based cues do not establish a person identification, so the person is described by role as a dancer.
