Three female dancers perform on a red stage in front of ornate gold-carved panels with small lights. The central dancer, in a red sari with purple borders and a purple blouse, is balanced on the kneeling dancers' shoulders with several arms extended in mudra-like gestures. The two kneeling dancers wear mustard-yellow silk saris with red and gold borders, gold belts and ankle bells, and one raises her hands in a sweeping gesture. Their hair is adorned with white flowers and they wear gold jewellery. The dance appears to be a classical-style dance performance.
