A stage performance of women in traditional south Indian attire seated on a green-carpeted stage in front of an orange backdrop decorated with marigold garlands forming the letters 'KARTHIKAI' and the year '2010', and a black silhouette of a temple tower. Five women sit cross-legged in front of microphone stands, wearing saris and ghagra-style outfits in blue, orange, maroon, red, yellow and green, with gold jewellery and flowers in their hair. Behind them, a young girl in red and yellow sits near a drum, and a girl in a red outfit sits at the right edge. Audience members' heads are visible at the bottom of the frame, with a yellow and red pennant bunting along the stage edge.
