A seated audience in white shirts with orange-and-white lanyards faces a raised red-draped stage in a hall with pink walls. Two dancers in traditional Bharatanatyam-style costume perform: one in an orange blouse with purple-and-yellow skirt, the other in a purple and red outfit with a kumkum-marked forehead, one holding a small hand cymbal-like prop. Behind them stand tall ornate golden pillars, a large green-brown tree sculpture, and a green backdrop. To the left, figurines of a musician with a stringed instrument and a seated figure in white sit on a golden throne-like stand beside a red fire extinguisher. Framed photo collages line the walls above.
