A group of young girls in colourful traditional dresses perform a dance across a bare floor in a hall.

Behind them a decorated stage has a balloon wall in many colours, and a gold ornate throne with a red cushion. A seated figure in orange-saffron robes sits on the throne; the figure is too small and distant to confirm identity.
