Two young women perform a Bharatanatyam dance on a red stage in front of an ornate golden throne with a red cushion and a tall gilded arch. Both dancers wear orange silk costumes with green and gold borders, green fan-shaped waist pieces, gold necklaces and jhumka earrings, and white flower garlands in their hair. The dancer on the left extends one arm upward while the dancer on the right gestures with one hand, both smiling. Potted green plants flank the stage, and a carved wall panel with figures stands behind. Partially visible at the left of the throne, a seated figure in pink clothing is barely visible, and no clear identification of any person is made.
