Two women perform a classical Indian dance on a stage with a dark drape backdrop and a green plant at the left edge. The dancer on the left wears a yellow and gold sari with a patterned border and a gold necklace, her hair with a white flower, and stands with one foot raised. The dancer on the right wears an orange blouse and a grey-green patterned sari, with bangles and flowers in her hair, her hands gesturing expressively. A framed portrait hangs above the stage showing a figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala seated among trees; the portrait is a depiction, not a person present. Red flower garlands line the stage edge.
