A stage performance in a hall with red curtains and framed photo panels on the walls. Two acrobats in matching orange outfits perform a balancing lift: one stands on the shoulders of another who is bent back and supported by the arms and legs of the lowest performer. On the left, a woman in a white and gold sari smiles and watches, next to an older woman in orange robes with a beaded mala. A gilded golden throne-like backdrop and decorated murti figures stand behind the performers, and seated women in orange and white watch and photograph the act.
