A female classical dancer performs on a stage in a purple silk costume woven with gold zari borders and floral motifs, with pleated skirt panels, a gold waist belt with figures, and a gold necklace with a green-and-red pendant. Her head ornament is a gold maang tikka with pearls, and she wears a red bindi and a nose ring. Her hands are raised beside her face in a mudra, and the backdrop shows a painted stylised temple-arch design.
