A performer stands barefoot on a stage with hands on hips, wearing a rust-red dhoti-style lower garment and a matching red-orange wrap draped over the torso with white and gold beaded or embroidered trim, red armbands and bangles, a dark topknot and a vermilion-marked forehead. Along the front of the stage, rows of tall brass oil lamps stand in a line, and behind them a large screen shows a grid of glowing flame-like lamp images. A deep red curtain hangs at the right edge, and stage lights hang from the truss above.
