A young performer on the left wears a yellow shawl, a white turban with a feather, layered gold necklaces and a red-and-gold patterned skirt, holding a microphone and speaking. Beside and facing him, a woman in a cream sari with a red-orange net veil and gold jewellery holds a small object, while two women in white saris with gold borders stand to the right, one covering her face with her hand. A seated person in orange wraps is partly visible at the far left edge. Four to five people are visible in total, all on stage.
