A stage performance under a gold and cream tent at a cultural event. A shirtless young male dancer in green patterned trousers twirls a long stick with pink and white ribbons in the foreground. Behind him, a seated figure on a gold ornate throne with a red cushion and a golden parasol wears an orange-brown robe and a head covering; he is seated in the throne area, and the image shows no clear, distinctive appearance cues sufficient to identify him. Seven seated women and a seated man in white and red sit on the red stage floor, a bearded performer in an orange costume with garlands stands at right, and a bald man in a white vest stands near the carved gold and cream backdrop of a deity relief. The backdrop shows a carved multi-armed deity relief.2016-05-01May 01 20162016-05-01May 01 20162016-05-01 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremonial stage with a red carpet and red draped backdrop.

A figure seated on an ornate golden throne with a small umbrella overhead wears saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha-style beaded necklace and a brown head covering; this figure is a candidate for a person but the appearance is uncertain, so the identity is unconfirmed. Seated on the floor to the left are a man in white with a mala and four women in colourful saris and salwar. In the centre a performer with bare torso and green trousers arches backward, holding pink and green ribbons.
