Three young female dancers perform a classical Indian dance on a green-covered stage. They wear saris and costume jewellery: the left dancer in magenta and green with a green-and-gold border, the centre dancer in red and pink with gold trim, and the right dancer in deep teal with gold border. Their arms are raised in mudra-like poses, with flowers in their hair and necklaces. Behind them a large backdrop shows a smiling man in orange robes and an orange head wrap, with the large printed phrase Ananda and the caption Ānandeśvara Devālaya in orange lettering. Potted plants flank the stage. The man on the backdrop is a printed portrait, not a physical person present.
