Four female dancers in green silk saris with red-and-gold borders perform kneeling on a red-draped stage, hands held in anjali mudra. Each wears white flowers in her hair, gold jewellery and bangles. Small brass or copper offering trays sit near the stage edge, and a red and white draped backdrop hangs behind them. Framed portraits hang on the wall above. Audience members in the foreground are seen from behind, including a bald man in white. The scene suggests an evening cultural programme.
