A hall with a light-coloured wall and a curtained backdrop shows a group performance on a concrete stage. Several men in white dhotis, some bare-chested with orange-bordered cloth, raise their arms and step in a dance-like formation. A woman in a white top and black trousers stands among them. Behind, a large audience in white and yellow-shawled attire sits on orange mats, and a golden decorated arch and deity-like figures appear at the back. A projection screen hangs to the right and a white plastic chair sits in the foreground.
