A stage performance by children and a young woman in front of a deep blue backdrop with a gold scalloped valance. Two boys with bare backs, white markings on their arms and shoulders, and red and black dhotis hold large pink and gold painted shields, facing away from the camera. A younger child in a green and red lower garment and a third performer behind them also hold pink props. At right, a smiling young woman in a brown and red sari with gold jewellery holds a pink flower-decorated shield. The scene appears to be a cultural dance or theatre piece.
