Two young boys perform on a polished white floor in a temple-style hall with painted guardian figures flanking a maroon curtain. The boy in the centre wears a sleeveless saffron-orange kurta and loose orange trousers, with a white vertical tilak on his forehead and a shaved head, and walks forward with one hand raised. Beside him, a second boy in a black short-sleeved shirt and black shorts with a white tilak stands watching. Behind them, large painted guardian statues with golden crowns and yellow garments hold staffs, and a red patterned rug lies on the floor before the curtain.
