A performer in a classical dance pose on a green stage floor before a white draped curtain. He kneels in a wide, low stance with hands raised in mudra-like gestures, wearing a bare torso with a multi-strand pearl necklace, gold bangles, an armlet, a gold waist belt and deep purple trousers with gold-bordered yellow sash. A red tilak marks the forehead. Probable dance performance rather than a ritual.
