A performer on a red stage stands smiling and holding a handheld microphone with a cable trailing across the floor. He has long black hair, a painted forehead mark and a thin moustache, and wears an ornate gold and red costume with a jewelled, multicoloured chest piece, a red and gold dhoti-style garment and a red shawl. Scattered flower petals lie on the stage. Behind him is a large sepia backdrop of a temple corridor with carved pillars and a shrine niche, with a banner reading Celebra partly visible at top. The scene looks like a staged celebration performance.
