Two young women perform a stage dance on a red carpet in front of an ornate gold-carved wooden backdrop with elephant reliefs and a carved pillar. Both wear red sleeveless blouses with gold trim, white harem-style trousers, flower hair ornaments, orange earrings and dark ankle bells. The dancer on the right holds a large green sheer dupatta spread open with both hands, while a male performer in white stands partly visible at the right edge. The setting resembles a festival stage programme.
