A young woman in a cream silk sari with red and gold border stands on a stage holding a handheld microphone and a sheet of paper, reading aloud. She wears a small head ornament, jhumka earrings, a gold necklace and bangles. Beside her stands a tall brass lamp with white flower garlands. Behind her is an ornately carved gold throne with a red cushion, draped with garlands of white jasmine, yellow and red flowers, and a blue brick wall forms the backdrop. Flower petals are scattered on the red-carpeted stage floor. The throne is empty.
