Two young female dancers perform Bharatanatyam on a polished stage in front of a temple-style backdrop. Both wear orange-red silk costumes with gold borders and gold waist sashes, with black ankle bells, jewelled headpieces, white flowers in their hair, and long braids. The dancer on the right lifts one leg high in a dance pose while the dancer on the left extends her arms. Behind them stands a large painted deity murti with multiple arms, and brass oil lamps stand on either side. The scene suggests an arangetram-style performance.
