A performer stands centre-stage in a classical dance pose before a white draped curtain with large red and dark-outlined lettering reading partly "...ndotsav" and "20...". He is bare-chested, wearing layered white pearl necklaces, a gold-trimmed armlet, gold bangles and a gold waist belt over an orange and purple striped dhoti. He has dark eyes with kohl, red lips and a tilak on his forehead, and his hands are raised in mudra gestures. The photo shows a dance performance, and the figure's appearance does not clearly establish any particular identity.
