Two young women in matching orange-saffron tunics and pants perform an aerial rope-climbing act indoors. The woman in front has long dark braided hair and holds the rope with one hand, while the other, higher on the rope, grips it with both hands and has a red tilak on her forehead. Both are barefoot and suspended off the floor. Below, two painted-looking deity murtis in purple skirts and floral garlands stand beside a golden structure. Red curtains and framed red-toned pictures decorate the walls.
