A dancer in a green and gold sari with a crown-like headpiece performs on a stage with arms raised in a classical pose. Behind her, a framed painting of a seated figure in orange clothing hangs on a dark drape between two large blank projection screens. Potted palms flank the stage and a row of red and white flowers lines the front edge. Two audience members' heads are visible at the bottom left. The page excerpt places this at a cultural programme at Kailaasa in Los Angeles, but the framed portrait is a painting rather than a person, and its label is not legible.
