A photograph of a staged cultural performance on a tiled stage with a maroon curtain and balloon-decorated backdrop. A performer seated on a low wooden block wears a copper-coloured Ganesha-style elephant-headed mask, orange shawl, white dhoti and beaded necklace, with hands pressed together. Beside a brass puja tray holding a small lamp, bell and offerings, a standing man in white kurta and dhoti with bare feet stands and holds a microphone. The scene reads as a children's festival programme.
