Both wear pink blouses with gold borders, white dhoti-style skirts pleated at the front, gold waist sashes, gold necklaces and jasmine flowers in their hair; the dancer on the left raises her hand in a gesture while the one on the right stands with hands on her hips. Behind them is a golden throne-like seat and a decorated ceremonial parasol. At the left edge a man in white ritual cloth with bare upper body and sacred thread sits with palms pressed together in namaskar near a stack of red cushions. Wooden stage and striped cloth in the foreground.
