A dynamic group performance of many young people in saffron-orange cloth wrapped as dhotis and sarongs, with rudraksha mala strands across their chests and wrists. Some dancers are bare-chested and barefoot, moving in an energetic circle on a red and yellow striped mat. Several have long dark hair, some with headbands, and a few hold their arms outward mid-movement. Behind them are carved stone pillars with colourful painted panels and a lit lamp, inside a stone hall. A man in white clothing with a red shawl stands at the left edge.
