Two female dancers perform on a red stage before an ornate gilded backdrop with carved scrollwork and relief panels of animals. The dancer in front sits cross-legged on the floor with palms pressed together at chest level, wearing a red and magenta blouse with a white skirt and gold waist belt, and gold jewelry at the neck, wrists and ears. Behind her, a second dancer stands in a blue blouse and white sari-style costume, also with palms joined in prayer, with a gold headpiece and necklace. Both have hair pulled back with floral and gold ornaments. The scene resembles a devotional dance performance.
