A female Bharatanatyam dancer performs centre stage in a yellow and red silk costume with gold borders, a red blouse, and a gold waist belt with hanging chains. Her hair is adorned with white flowers and a gold headpiece, and she wears a red bindi, nose ring and jewelled earrings. Her raised right hand is in a mudra and her left arm extends downward. Behind her, a second dancer's arms are partly visible. Two tall brass oil lamps stand at right, and a carved temple-style backdrop with orange pillars frames the stage, with a garland of flowers hanging at left.
