A dance performance on a red stage before an ornate gold-toned temple-style backdrop with carved deity figures, elephants and lamps. Three young women in traditional dance costume are seen: the central dancer wears a purple and red sari with a gold waistbelt and white flowers in her hair, while the two kneeling dancers wear yellow-orange saris with gold borders and red blouses, one with a black sash. Their arms are extended in expressive mudras, and a fourth dancer partly visible behind them has raised hands. Garlands of white flowers and gold jewellery adorn the performers.
