Two female classical dancers perform on a stage in front of a dark wooden backdrop decorated with a carved lotus motif and a Shivalinga-like symbol. Both wear blue blouses and bodices with gold trim, hot pink and gold patterned saris with blue pleated fans at the waist, gold waist belts, choker necklaces, rudraksha-style beaded malas, gold headpieces and white flowers in their hair. Both smile while making expressive hand gestures, a Bharatanatyam-style performance. A framed picture hangs on the right wall and a gold ornamental figure edges the lower left corner.
