The woman in front wears an orange and magenta silk sari with gold zari border, a gold waist belt, a long gold necklace and a pearl-and-gold hair ornament, with one hand raised in a mudra. The woman behind wears a royal blue and orange sari with gold border, layered gold necklaces, jasmine-style flowers in her hair, and her palms open in a gesture. Behind them stands an ornate gold-painted carved backdrop with a swan-shaped sculpture on the left. The scene suggests a Deepavali celebration performance within a temple-style hall.
