A stage performance in a hall with dark curtains and a decorated structure at the back. A tall framed canopy or float covered with orange and white marigold garlands stands centrally. Four drummers in green tunics and red trousers play drums, two with red sashes and one wearing a red turban. A man in a yellow-and-white garment sits in front of the structure, and a figure in red kneels and bows low with forehead to the floor on the tiled path, while others in yellow and red lie prostrate nearby. Potted plants and a fan are at the sides.

A stage performance in a hall with dark maroon curtains and a floral garland decoration hanging above. A man in a yellow patterned shirt, maroon dhoti and pink headcloth stands center stage with one arm outstretched, while several performers in green jackets, red sashes and maroon dhotis stand around him; one plays a drum and another holds a large cymbal-like instrument.
